Janice Hahn

Chairman
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors

I share a legacy with Cathy of our fathers working together for the greater good and safety of Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles County Fire Department. When my father, Kenny Hahn was serving as Second District Supervisor for the County, Cathy's dad, Earl Dunn served as Local 1014 Union President for the LA County Firefighters.

Together our fathers worked together to create the three platoon shift system our firefighters enjoy today as well as enhanced pension and health benefits.

Cathy and I share that same collaborative spirit as we have worked together with the rest of the Whittier City Council to provide services and programs for the residents of Whittier.

Additionally, Cathy has provided leadership for the Los Angeles County Sanitation District in her role as chairman of District 2. Because of this capacity, she and I have collaborated closely to help facilitate successful labor negotiations for the District.

As we continue to work on the issues facing residents of Whittier and Los Angeles County, I am proud to have a great partner in Cathy Warner.

Cathy's experience as a Councilmember and Mayor of Whittier highlights her commitment to serving the needs of her constituents. Her deep understanding of local issues, coupled with her tireless advocacy for community betterment, has garnered the trust and respect of residents and colleagues alike. Cathy's ability to listen, empathize, and effectively address constituent concerns sets her apart as a true champion of the people.
