Meldon Edises Levine (born June 7, 1943, in Los Angeles, California) is an attorney and former Democratic Congressman from California. He served in the United States House of Representatives from 1983 to 1993. He graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 1960 and was student body president (1963–64) and valedictorian at the University of California, Berkeley. After attending Princeton (MPA 1966) and Harvard (JD 1969) Universities, he was admitted to the California bar in 1970, following which he set up a private practice.

He was a legislative assistant to U.S. Senator John V. Tunney from 1971 to 1973. He served in the California State Assembly from 1977 to 1982. He served in the House of Representatives from 1983 to 1993. In 1992, Levine entered the Democratic primary election for the U.S. Senate, but lost the nomination to then-Congresswoman Barbara Boxer. He supported the 1991 Gulf War Authorization Act, which authorized the use of United States Armed Forces pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 678.[1] Levine is married to New Yorker journalist Connie Bruck. He has three children from a previous marriage: Adam Paul, Jake and Cara. He lives in Santa Monica, and is currently a partner in law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
