The Hot Seat: California State Sen. Ted Lieu
Lieu reflected on his time in the California State Assembly and Senate, which he entered after serving on the Torrance City Council. He said that he was able to achieve what he wanted because he is a member of the majority party.
He also explained some of the specifics of Prop. 1, the water bond that the voters passed in Nov., and how Southern California can benefit. Lieu also talked about what he has done for the "creative economy" and what he plans to do about film production when he gets to Congress.
The senator expressed his thoughts on President Obama taking executive actions on immigration reform and the nuclear weapons crisis in the country. He also said what he did to improve the California National Guard.
Editor's Note: This interview was taped before President Obama's speech during which he officially announced and described the executive actions.
