His book, “No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism,” was published in August. With Rep.

Before serving in Congress, he represented the North Bay for six years in the California Assembly. Before that, he worked as a Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) after a successful stint as a public interest attorney. Jared graduated magna cum laude from U.C. Santa Barbara, where he was a three-time NCAA All-American volleyball player.
