Biography & Current Office
Background & current office
Sam T. Liccardo is the Democratic U.S. representative for California’s 16th District and began serving in Congress in January 2025. Before Congress, he served two terms as mayor of San José and earlier worked as a criminal prosecutor, including federal prosecution work in the Southern District of California.
Liccardo’s official House biography lists membership on the House Financial Services Committee and leadership of the New Democrat Coalition’s Innovation & Technology Working Group. His biography also emphasizes housing, technology, public-safety and clean-energy policy; those positions remain institutional and policy context rather than Truthscope ratings.

Recent Recorded Votes

TrumpsMouth keeps vote data in the public-record layer rather than treating a vote by itself as a factual controversy. Use the official chamber roll-call database to inspect current votes; claim-specific vote explanations are added only when a sourced allegation requires them.

Legislation & official congressional activity
No legislation has been promoted into the curated editorial layer for this member yet. That is intentional: TrumpsMouth does not manufacture a “notable bill” merely to fill a profile.
Use the official federal records below to review sponsored legislation, roll-call activity and current office statements. TrumpsMouth will add claim-specific vote explanations only when a particular vote or legislative action is actually part of a sourced claim.
