House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has chosen seven lawmakers to prosecute the House’s case that Donald Trump abused his office and obstructed Congress’ probe into what happened.

The managers bring institutional and subject matter expertise to the task, as well as geographic diversity.

Here’s a look at Pelosi’s team of managers:

Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff, 59

The California Democrat led the impeachment investigation into Trump’s pressure on Ukraine to announce an investigation into the family of Joe Biden, even as Trump held up military aid to the U.S. ally. Schiff is a former federal prosecutor and is especially close to Pelosi.

Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler, 72

The New York Democrat wrote the impeachment articles against Trump based on Schiff’s investigation report. He also led hearings into former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s 2016 meddling. Pelosi noted that Nadler served as the top Democrat on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties for more than a dozen years.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, 72

The California Democrat is a veteran of three presidential impeachment inquires. She was on the Judiciary Committee during the 1998 and 1999 proceedings against President Bill Clinton. She was a Judiciary Committee staffer during the impeachment inquiry against President Richard Nixon, who resigned before he could be impeached.

Rep. Val Demings, 62

The Florida Democrat is a member of both Schiff’s and Nadler’s committees, making her one of the House’s foremost experts on the case against Trump. She served in the Orlando Police Department for nearly three decades, becoming the first woman to lead it as chief.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, 49

The New York Democrat is the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, putting him in close touch with the sentiment of Pelosi’s troops and giving him a seat at her leadership table. He is a corporate lawyer and former state assemblyman.

Rep. Sylvia Garcia, 69

The Texas Democrat gives the team some red-state cred and is a member of the freshman class that helped flip the House from Republican control last year. She is a former presiding judge of the Houston Municipal System and a former state senator.

Rep. Jason Crow, 40

The Colorado Democrat is a lawyer and veteran. He was one of the seven Democratic freshmen with national security credentials who signed an op-ed last year calling for impeachment proceedings, clearing the way for Pelosi to launch them.
