From Wikipedia regarding his time in the state senate:

During his tenure, Schiff also authored "tough on crime" measures, which did not pass or were vetoed by both Republican and Democratic governors, including a bill to allow minors 14 or older accused of serious crimes to be tried as adults, and a bill that would have made it a felony to hire an undocumented immigrant.

And prior to impeachment and the J6 committee, I don't know what he has done for California. He is a fine attorney.
