Rep. Hahn picks California politics over Congress

“The problem is, Washington is broken. It’s increasingly mired in political gridlock, and there’s virtually zero cooperation between the two parties,” she said in a statement obtained by The Los Angeles Times. “That’s not the kind of government I grew up with.”
