Rubric: https://voteorelse.com/about#methodology ## On the ballot - **Laura Friedman** — Member, United States House of Representatives · Democratic - **Scott Alan Meyers** — Small Business Owner · Republican Your seat in Congress. Incumbent Laura Friedman (D) took 52.7% in June; small-business owner Scott Alan Meyers (R) advances with her to November 3 in this Burbank–Glendale–Hollywood Hills district. House terms run two years, so this seat answers to voters constantly. One member of 435 can't move much alone — leverage comes from committee work and which party holds the majority, and California's delegation is the largest in the chamber. House members vote on everything but specialize somewhere. Friedman's specialty is transportation safety and climate; Meyers runs on affordability and border security. In a district this blue, also weigh what kind of accountability you want from a safe-seat incumbent. ## Laura Friedman Democrat, first-term Representative after four Assembly terms and Glendale council years. She authored California's first speed-camera law and the Complete Streets law, and is already moving road-safety bills in Congress. Her specialty is making streets and transit safer. **Strengths:** A genuine legislative record with named laws attached, plus local-government roots in the district. **Trade-offs:** A first-termer in the minority party — her near-term wins are incremental (grants, oversight), not landmark laws. **Keep in mind:** Constituents at a 2025 town hall pressed her to fight the administration harder; her answer is process and coalition work. Decide if that matches your temperament for this moment. ## Scott Alan Meyers Republican; attorney with 37 years of civil-law experience and a small-business owner. Meyers runs on affordability, border security, education, and spending restraint. They have not held elected office. **Strengths:** A long professional career and a straightforward platform, with the state Republican Party's endorsement. **Trade-offs:** No record in elected office to evaluate. **Keep in mind:** they're running in one of the safer Democratic districts in the state; their practical role in November is to give that platform a hearing. ## Record in office Laura Friedman (Democratic) has served in the U.S. House since 2025 and has sponsored 11 bills in the 119th Congress; none of their bills have become law so far. Scott Alan Meyers has not served in the California Legislature or U.S. Congress; these records cover only those offices.
