A delegation of California Democrats campaigned with union leaders on Tuesday for a federal film incentive as they seek to build momentum to pass the measure by the end of the year.

Sen. Adam Schiff and eight Democratic representatives from Southern California argued that the U.S. must counter incentives from 65 other countries that have lured American production jobs overseas.

“We are so close to getting this done,” Schiff said in 100-degree heat outside the Alex Theatre in Glendale. “Whatever we can do to get this done, that is job number one. It just can’t wait. It’s too important. The losses so far have been too extraordinary.”
