Not sure as to who that is
Pete Stark. He's my favorite congressman:
* was ranked as the most left-wing House member by National Journal in 2005, beating even McKinney
* called the US invasion of Iraq "an act of extreme terrorism"
* one of 21 House "nay" votes on a resolution expressing solidarity with Israel, and one of eight "nay" votes on a resolution condemning Hezbollah
He's also been a leader on various other issues- see the
transcript of his excellent speech denouncing the flag "desecration" amendment.
oh, and Almanac of American Politics says: "Stark seems even at his most flamboyant to be expressing the views of most Democrats in the district."
