Napolitano Welcomes New LA County Supervisors Kathryn Barger & Janice Hahn

December 6, 2016

(Washington, DC) Yesterday, Rep. Grace F. Napolitano (D-El Monte) attended the swearing-in ceremonies for newly elected Los Angeles County Supervisors, Kathryn Barger (5th District) and Janice Hahn (4th District), releasing the following congratulatory statement:

“The County is very fortunate to have such a high caliber person as Kathryn Barger to represent it on the Board of Supervisors. She has been a good partner as Chief of Staff to her predecessor, former Supervisor Mike Antonovich, on issues that affect the 32nd Congressional District, and I look forward to working with her on many other issues that are essential to delivering services to the residents of the Fifth District of LA County.

“I also congratulate my good friend Janice Hahn on a well-deserved position. She has been and will continue to be a great champion for residents of the southern and coastal areas of our county.

“It is a new day for the County with four female supervisors, a sharp contrast to a few decades ago when there was not even one woman. We are glad they hope to be a cohesive board, and we look forward to working together to lead LA County forward.”
