American response in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
On August 29, 2013, 53 House Democrats signed a letter written by California Rep. Barbara Lee that called for a congressional resolution on strikes and cautioned that the situation in Syria "should not draw us into an unwise war—especially without adhering to our constitutional requirements."[145][146] The letter also called on the Obama administration to work with the U.N. Security Council “to build international consensus” condemning the alleged use of chemical weapons. Huffman was one of the 53 Democrats in the House to sign the letter.[145][146]
SNAP challenge
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
In June 2013, more than two dozen House Democrats, including Huffman, took part in a SNAP challenge, feeding themselves for a week on the average benefit level of a SNAP recipient.[147] Participants agreed to eat all meals from a limited food budget comparable to that of a SNAP participant, approximately $1.50 per meal, or $4.50 a day.[148]
Political courage test
Huffman provided answers to the California State Legislative Election 2008 Political Courage Test. The test informs voters how a candidate would vote on the issues if elected. When asked his legislative priorities he responded, "Environmental protection greenhouse gas reduction, health care reform, increased funding and improved accountability in public education."[149]
Legislative scorecard
Capitol Weekly, California's major weekly periodical covering the state legislature, publishes an annual legislative scorecard to pin down the political or ideological leanings of every member of the legislature based on how they voted on an assortment of bills in the most recent legislative session. The 2009 scores were based on votes on 19 bills, but did not include how legislators voted on the Proposition 1A (2009). On the scorecard, "100" is a perfect liberal score and "0" is a perfect conservative score.[150][151]
On the 2009 Capitol Weekly legislative scorecard, Huffman ranked as a 100, along with eight other Democratic members of the state assembly.[152]
Sponsored legislation
Proposition 2
In the aftermath of Proposition 2's victory, Huffman introduced a bill in the state legislature to require that Prop 2's provisions apply to all eggs sold in the state, regardless of where the eggs are laid. AB 1437 also would have given the California Department of Health the responsibility to write regulations specifying what living quarters are acceptable for hens. The Humane Society of the United States and egg-farmers both opposed the bill.[153][154]
Huffman's other sponsored legislation includes:
- AB 1187 - Safe, Clean, Reliable Drinking Water Supply
- AB 1326 - Voter registration: action to compel registration
- AB 1437 - Shelled eggs: sale for human consumption

As the father of two children in our public schools and the husband of a teacher, he understands education from a direct, personal perspective and is committed to ensuring that every child has access to a quality education.

Personal Gain Index

- See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)
The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Huffman's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $207,020 and $707,000. That averages to $457,010, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Huffman ranked as the 280th most wealthy representative in 2012.[160] Between 2011 and 2012, Huffman's calculated net worth[161] decreased by an average of 3 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[162]
Jared Huffman Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2011 | $472,080 |
2012 | $457,010 |
Growth from 2011 to 2012: | −3% |
Average annual growth: | −3%[163] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[164] |
The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Huffman received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Retired industry.
From 2011-2014, 31.08 percent of Huffman's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[165]

Noteworthy events
Said President Joe Biden (D) should withdraw as 2024 Democratic presidential nominee
On July 19, 2024, Jared Huffman said President Joe Biden (D) should withdraw from the 2024 Democratic presidential race ahead of the Democratic National Convention on August 19-22, 2024.
Huffman said, "Mr. President, with great admiration for you personally, sincere respect for your decades of public service and patriotic leadership, and deep appreciation for everything we have accomplished together during your presidency, it is now time for you to pass the torch to a new generation of Democratic leaders. We must defeat Donald Trump to save our democracy, protect our alliances and the rules-based international order, and continue building on the strong foundation you have established over the past four years."
Following the first 2024 presidential debate, Democratic elected officials commented publicly on President Joe Biden's (D) debate performance and his presidential candidacy. On July 2, 2024, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) became the first Democratic federal elected official to call on Biden to withdraw from the race in the wake of the debate.
