California congressional districts 11-20. (Denise Guerra/Neon Tommy)

Miller had one of the most liberal voting records since joining the House in 1975. He voted no on authorizing military force in Iraq in 2002 and co-sponsored the Responsible End to the War in Afghanistan Act, which defunded the United States' military presence in Afghanistan. But traditionally, Miller allied himself with Pelosi, making his vote somewhat less predictable.

Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) - District 12

Pelosi long touted the Democratic Party's opposition to the War in Iraq, having voted no in 2002 on authorizing military force in the country. But as the House minority leader, she now stands in a difficult position as the president's representative in Congress, responsible for rallying Democratic votes for a military strike using a similar war cry. In a fifth letter to Democrats, Pelosi attempted to bolster support for a military strike.

Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) - District 13

Lee penned a letter on August 29, which also held the signatures of 53 Democrats, calling for Obama to let Congress debate over a military strike in Syria. Known for her staunch anti-war stance, Lee — the sole vote against the war in Afghanistan — has emerged as the leader of opposition within the House against military action. Her office stated she was "a strong no."

Jackie Speier (D-San Mateo) - District 14

"We must balance our commitment to being defenders of peace with a sober assessment of what military action means for the region and for our own national interests," Speier said in a statement.

Eric Swalwell (D-Livermore) - District 15

Swalwell said he would consider a limited U.S. military response so long as it would not put troops on the ground. "Any resolution to authorize force must have clear language limiting the scope and duration of American involvement," he said in a statement.

Jim Costa (D-Fresno) - District 16

Costa said in a news conference he supported possible military action in Syria so long as new troops wouldn't be put on the ground. "If a military response is necessary, it must be a limited, coordinated response from an international coalition," Costa said, according to the Fresno Bee. "The ultimate resolution to this is and must be a political solution, not a military one."

Michael “Mike” Honda (D-San Jose) - District 17

A spokesperson for Mike Honda told CNN on September 9 that Honda was undecided. But Honda appeared to be leaning no, saying, "There are many problems that could be exacerbated by an extended U.S. intervention, including the spread of violence to neighboring state, an increase in the al Qaeda presence in Syria and the overwhelming impact refugees are having on their neighbors," he said through a spokesperson via email.

Anna Eshoo (D-San Jose) - District 18

Another close friend of Pelosi, Eshoo was undecided, according to CNN. Both Eshoo and Lofgren sent Ambassador Susan Rice a letter asking about the military strike and its impact. Eshoo voted against the Iraq war authorization in 2002.

Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) - District 19

Lofgren, a typically reliable Pelosi ally, was still undecided, according to CNN. Lofgren, along with Eshoo, sent Ambassador Susan Rice a letter asking about the military strike and its impact. Lofgren voted against intervening militariliy in Iraq in 2002.

Sam Farr (D-Santa Cruz) - District 20

"Without the full support of our allies and a firm case that our national security is at risk, I cannot in good conscience vote now to commit our troops to war," Farr said in a statement.
