Adam Carter is only 27, but he’s already worked for the Pasadena area's top Democratic officeholders. Carter starts work this week as the new district representative for state Sen. Carol Liu (D-La Cañada Flintridge) in the Pasadena and Altadena areas, Liu announced Wednesday.

A Pasadena native who studied political science at UCLA, Carter has previously worked as a staff assistant for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) and as a field representative for Assemblyman Anthony Portantino (D-La Canada Flintridge).
