In 1996, Jim won the first of two terms to the U.S. House of Representatives. He was one of only two members of Congress to serve on both the Commerce and Judiciary Committees, two of the most prestigious and powerful committees in the Congress. Because of his background as a prosecutor and his reputation for fairness among Republicans and Democrats alike, the House of Representatives selected Jim to be one of the managers in the historic impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton. This role gave Jim worldwide recognition for his prosecutorial skills, as well as his cool demeanor during a painful episode in American history. However, as a Republican representing a heavily Democratic district, Jim’s vote of conscience on this matter caused his defeat for reelection in what became the most expensive House race in American history. In 2004 he completed work on a memoir of his early life: “Rough Edges: My Unlikely Road from Welfare to Washington,” published by Harper Collins and Regan Books.

Guest Speaker: Tom McClintock
During 19 years in the state legislature, State Senator Tom McClintock has become one of the most recognizable political leaders in California. When it comes to who should be California’s next Lt. Governor, voters will have a clear choice between a liberal John Garamendi and a conservative Tom McClintock.
In a recent CRP poll, Senator Tom McClintock has a 4% lead over his opponent, liberal John Garamendi. Among those voters who ALWAYS vote, McClintock leads by 11% (46% to 35%). Tom's support is also very broad. Independents favor McClintock thirty-two percent (32%) and Garamendi twenty-three percent (23%), and this group with the large number of undecided voters among them could likely make the difference.
