Be part of the solution to bring tech jobs to the heartland and across america. What about your background lends you to do that as the member of congress representing that area . Well ive been very, very fortunate to work with a lot of the tech leaders in my community. I had the experience to serve in the president S Administration at commerce, working on bringing manufacturing jobs back to the united states, wrote a book about how we bring advanced manufacturing jobs and then teaching economics at stanford. So ive been thinking about how we deal with automation and globalization and how do we create these jobs of the future for everybody. What will you do on that . How are you going to try to accomplish that . I think we know that for every tech job it has a Multiplier Effect of almost four other jobs. Enrico moretti has shown the importance of the tech hubs. Had how do we create these tech hubs not just in the cities, but in other parts of the country . It requires in part a commitment on Tech Companies to try to expand in these areas. It requires grants and Economic Development in those areas. A commitment to training and education, not just for graduate degrees, but also for practical vocational skills. Let me give you an example. Merit college has a cybersecurity program. How do we take that program in Silicon Valley and do that across the country . Describe your district. Who are your constituents . What do they do for leifina liv . You got apple, google, intel, yahoo cisco, linkedin, tesla. A lot of folks work in tech. But one myth is that it is all tech. It is about 20 tech and you have folks who are nurses and teachers and who work in for county government and who work in the trades and we have unions. It is a very, very diverse community. The tech hub, of course, propels the economy. But there are a lot of issues like anywhere else. People are concerned about the cost of living, theyre concerned about the price of housing. Theyre concerned about the cost of college. And it is a district where you have incredible diversity. What legislation are you thinking about that you will do first . Where will you act first . One area that i care deeply about is reforming the political culture in washington. I ran not accepting peck contributions. One of six members of congress who dont take pac money. I dont take lobbyist money. I think the message in this election was folks are tired of the influence of special interests and i would like to work on seeing if we could get rid of the pac contributions to congress. I also am open to some form of term limits, you know, reelection of congress incumbents, 96 . These have become almost futilist states passed from one generation to another. Thats not how our democracy was supposed to work. It was supposed to be one of new voices. And term limits worked wonderfully in california, we have some of the most diverse gender Diverse Assembly and so if there is an opportunity to work on that for 12 years in the how 12 years in the senate, i look forward to working there. How many terms do you plan to serve . Of course, im first serving one and lets see if i do the good enough job to get a second. Ill take it one step at a time. I think from a philosophical perspective, if we had 12 years in the senate, 12 years in the house, similar to what california does, i think that would be great for the country. Tell us about your background. I was born in philadelphia. Son of immigrants. My parents came here, my dad was a chemical engineer, my mom was a schoolteacher. My interest in politics came from my grandfather. He spent four years in jail in the 1940s with gandhi during the independence movement. And that gave me a sense that one could really ma make a diffe in politics and it mattered. Went off to school at university of chicago, where i had the coincidence of knocking on doors for president obamas very First Campaign when he was running for the state senate. And that gave me an interest in electoral politics. After finishing law school, moved to Silicon Valley. When the president won, i had the opportunity to serve in hiS Administration. What kind of law did you practice . I did a large intellectual property litigation, and worked with a lot of startups, Tech Companies, and really now spent almost 15 years in Silicon Valley. Two years were in washington at commerce and so one of the real honors of representing this district is you get to work with some of the most innovative, creative, entrepreneurial folks in the world. And my message to them is it is time for you now to step up and serve and answer the nations call to service, to figure out who is being left behind by this technology revolution. How do we provide an opportunity for everyone to be part of this new economy. Where do you think your Entrepreneurial Mind set and interest comes from . Im humble enough to know im not an entrepreneur. The entrepreneur is the real entrepreneur is the one creating companies. But i think just being seen by this extraordinary environment where you have people regardless of their faith, regardless of their gender, regardless of their race, participating in inventing the future and it is so exciting to see. You see people who fail and fail and fail and get up an they succeed. And that spirit is extraordinary. And we need to bring some of that spirit to washington. That was a spirit during the new deal. When Franklin Roosevelt had this idea of democratic experimentalism. Not everything worked, but we needed to try new things, be bold, be willing to take risks. We need to bring that back to get government to be flexible, creative, innovative, and something that is going to move this country forward. You have been a new member for all of two days. Have you figured out where youll live here in washington . I havent figured that out yet. My wife and i still have our we have a condo in fremont and were looking into that. But my wife went to georgetown. So maybe shes familiar with that area. And were still looking. And what committees are you hoping to serve on . You know they say as a freshman you serve on the committees where there are openings. I dont want to be presumptuous but my passion is economic policy. I believe thats where i can make a contribution to the caucus. So whatever the Committee Assignment is, im going to focus on some of the economic priorities and this idea of how do we bring tech jobs across america . How do we bring them for people who have been left behind . I really believe it is possible. Congressman, thank you very much for the conversation. Thank you for your time.

In these bars they find out that they are not the only one, and that will have lots of people who are atypical sexually, and when the war is over, they dont want to return to their small towns and their small town closets, and many settled instead of the cities with where they first experienced some selfacceptance.
