Biography & Current Office
Background & current office
Scott H. Peters is the Democratic U.S. representative for California’s 50th District and has served in the House since 2013. An environmental lawyer by training, he previously served on the San Diego City Council, including as council president, and chaired the San Diego Unified Port District.
In the 119th Congress, Peters serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee—on the Communications and Technology, Energy, and Environment subcommittees—and on the House Budget Committee. His official office also highlights work through bipartisan caucuses focused on fiscal policy and national security; those roles are retained as biography and public record rather than converted into controversy labels.

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.
