Tauscher was active in Democratic circles as a fundraiser before challenging 10th District Congressman Bill Baker in 1996. Tauscher charged that Baker was too conservative for the district (particularly in his anti-environmental statements) and won a razor-thin victory.[1] Bill Baker William Pond (Bill) Baker is a former United States Congressman from California. ...


She won solid victories in 1998 and 2000 against active Republican opposition. While the 10th was widely considered the most Republican of the Bay Area districts, Bay Area Republicans tend to be somewhat more moderate than their counterparts in the rest of California. Tauscher usually won by getting support from moderate Republican women. In 2000, redistricting made Tauscher much safer when some of the more Republican parts of her district were cut out as part of state-wide redistricting. She has since won reelection three more times without serious opposition. The recent and current politics of the U.S. state of California are complex and involve a number of entrenched interests. ...


Tauscher is a leading moderate Democrat. She is Chairwoman of the New Democrat Coalition, the caucus of centrist/moderate Democrats in the House of Representatives. She became a target of liberal activists after the Democrats took back control of the House of Representatives in 2006.
