Strengths: --A former federal prosecutor, Schiff successfully authored state bills on public safety as well as incentives to keep movie-industry jobs in the state. --For a congressional challenger, his campaign is exceptionally well- funded. --He benefits from a concerted get-out-the-vote effort by Democratic and labor groups, and other anti-Rogan efforts by groups independent of the Schiff campaign.

Bush in the state could provide a coattail effect for Rogan, hurting Schiff. TED BROWN Libertarian Residence: San Gabriel. Occupation: Insurance adjuster/investigator.
