Fortney Hillman "Pete" Stark Jr.

A Democrat from California, Stark's district—California's 13th congressional district during his last two decades in Congress—was in southwestern Alameda County and included Alameda, Union City, Hayward, Newark, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, and Fremont (his residence during the early part of his tenure), as well as parts of Oakland and Pleasanton.
At the time he left office in 2013, he was the fifth most senior Representative, as well as sixth most senior member of Congress overall.
He was also the dean of California's 55-member Congressional delegation, and the only open atheist in Congress. After 2010 redistricting, Stark's district was renumbered as the 15th district for the 2012 election.
He narrowly finished first in the primary ahead of fellow Democrat Eric Swalwell, and lost to Swalwell in the general election.
He was the second-longest serving U.S.
