Politics

Along with neighboring Santa Monica, and perhaps all of western Los Angeles, Brentwood has become a byword for "limousine liberalism." In general, the area strongly tends toward a blue state perspective and votes Democratic. Celebrities and wealthy Angelenos who live in the hills often sponsor fundraising dinners for local and national candidates.

Brentwood's representatives in the California State Assembly (Karen Bass, Paul Koretz and Fran Pavley) and U.S. House of Representatives (Henry Waxman) are renowned for their socially liberal views. (Although Waxman, a star of the American left, scores a modest 80 of 100 on the Americans for Democratic Action scorecard, he's rated 95 of 100 by the ACLU.)
