About the Speakers
Congressman Adam Schiff has emerged as one of the most consequential members with leadership on many major issues. He now serves on the House Select Committee to investigate the January 6 attack on the Capitol tasked with discovering the facts, circumstance and causes of the attack. He is widely respected as a leader on national security and foreign policy especially for his role as Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He has worked to harden our defenses against foreign interference in our elections.
Congresswoman Madeleine Dean is a highly respected member and thought leader in the House. She served as one of the impeachment managers in the second trial against Donald Trump just weeks after she sat in the House gallery as protesters attempted to break into the chamber. Prior to serving in Congress, Dean opened her own legal practice and taught writing and ethics at La Salle University. First elected to represent Pennsylvania’s 4th district in 2018, she has become known for her work fighting gun violence.
Jazmine Ulloa is a reporter for The Boston Globe, where she covers national politics and elections. She experienced the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol directly, fleeing the press gallery, encountering bleeding security guards, and sheltering in place as rioters flooded the building. She previously wrote for the LA Times.
Congresswoman Jane Harman is President Emerita of the Wilson Center, one of the world’s most highly regarded think tanks, and a former long-time member of Congress who served on the House Intelligence Committee and the Homeland Security Committee's intelligence subcommittee.
