Biographical / Historical

Mike Honda is a former politician and educator. He is currently based in San Jose, CA. He first became active in politics in 1971 when he was appointed by San Jose Mayor Norman Mineta to the city's planning commission. He was later elected to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors in 1990 and then to the California State Assembly in 1996, serving until 2001. He served in Congress from 2001 to 2017, and as a U.S. House Representative for California's 17th Congressional District from 2013 to 2017.

Born Michael Makoto Honda on June 27, 1941, in Walnut Grove, California, he is a third generation Japanese American or "sansei." When Honda was 9 months old, he and his family were forced from their home and sent to live at the Granada Relocation Center, a Japanese internment camp in Colorado. Honda remained there from 1942-1945, and upon his release, he and his mother moved to Chicago where his father had settled, working as a teacher at Northwestern. Following in his father's footsteps, Honda enjoyed a thirty year career as an educator, employed as a science teacher and principal of two public schools. He was also elected to the San Jose Unified School Board in 1981.

From 1965-1967, Mike Honda served as a Peace Corps volunteer in El Salvador.

In 2000, Honda won the Democratic nomination for California's 15th District. During the month of November 2003, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Terry McAuliffe appointed Honda as deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Under the chairmanship of Howard Dean, in February 2005, Honda was elected vice chair of the DNC, and later in 2009 was reelected, serving until 2013. Redistricting led Honda to represent California's 17th Congressional District, beginning on January 3, 2013. He eventually lost the position to Ro Khanna in the 2016 election.

Early Committees and Caucuses

From 2001 to 2007, Honda served on the US House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. He was also a ranking member of its Energy Subcommittee from 2005-2007. Honda also served on the US House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. In 2007, Nancy Pelosi appointed Honda to the US House Committee on Appropriations where he served on the subcommittees of Commerce, Justice, Science, Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. Honda was a part of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC), founded by Norman Mineta, and was chair from 2004 to 2011. He was also the founder and chair of the Congressional Anti-Bullying Caucus and the Congressional Ethiopian Caucus as well as vice chair and founding member of the LGBT Equality Caucus. In addition, he was the co-chair of both the Congressional Hepatitis Caucus and the Democratic Caucus New Media Working Group. Honda was also the vice-chair for new members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. From 2005 to 2016, Honda was the Commissioner of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China.

Later Congressional and Political Involvement

Honda helped facilitate an appropriation that extended the VTA/BART into Silicon Valley.

In 2001, Honda and Republican Representative Dana Rohrabacher introduced H.R. 1198, the Justice for United States Prisoners of War Act. This bill was an attempt to achieve reparations (verbal, written, and monetary) from the Japanese Government for atrocities committed against POWs during WWII. Although the legislation was popular, with 230 co-sponsors, the bill stalled within the three committees it was referred to, and was never passed to the House for a vote. In addition, no companion legislation appeared in the Senate, which would be needed for the bill to become a law.

In 2007, Honda proposed H.R 121, which stated that Japan should formally acknowledge, apologize, and accept historical responsibility for its role in the comfort women issue, regarding the sexual slavery of women in occupied territories before and during World War II. There was no opposition to the resolution within the House of Representatives, and on July 30, 2007, Honda's resolution was passed. Obama signed the bill into law on January 17, 2014.

In 2008, Honda, along with President Obama, introduced the Enhancing STEM Education Act in the House (HR 6104) and Senate (S.3047.) Portions of these bills were included in the America COMPETES Act reauthorization, which was signed into law on January 4, 2011.

With regard to the environment, Honda secured federal funding for the clean-up and demolition of the former Almaden Air Force Station on Mt. Umunhum in Santa Clara County. The site had been contaminated by hazardous materials used by the military. The area reopened as a park and historic site in the Spring of 2017. In 2014, he introduced the Climate Change Education Act (HR 4461), which attempted to address the issue of educating the public on the causes and possible solutions to climate change.

For the advancement of science and technology, Honda supported the principle of network neutrality, and in 2014, cosponsored the Open Internet Preservation Act (H.R. 3982). He was also a proponent of government intelligence transparency, and an opponent of the NSA's public surveillance tactics. In 2002, Honda introduced the first nanotechnology bills in Congress, and in 2003, he helped introduce the Nanotechnology Research and Development Act of 2003, which led to the creation of the National Nanotechnology Initiative.
