CONGRESSWOMAN JANE HARMAN ENDORSES JIM HAHN

Jim Hahn today received the endorsement of Congresswoman Jane Harman, whose Congressional District includes Venice, Westchester, and San Pedro. Harman announced her support this morning before accompanying Hahn to the Jewish Federation’s Super Sunday Phone-a-Thon.

"Jim Hahn gets things done for the people of Los Angeles," said Harman. "We have worked together on several occasions, including our efforts to preserve critical wildlife habitat in San Pedro and Palos Verdes. He doesn’t shy away from a fight, and wasn’t afraid to stand up for the people of Los Angeles against big tobacco and gun manufacturers. He finds meaningful solutions to complex problems. That’s the kind of leadership Los Angeles needs."

"Congresswoman Jane Harman is a champion for Los Angeles in our nation’s Capitol and I am very proud to have her support," said Hahn. "I look forward to working with her toward victory in this election and toward a building a stronger city for everyone."

Harman joins several local Congresswomen in endorsing Jim Hahn, including Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald, Congresswoman Grace Napolitano, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and retired Congresswoman Bobbi Fiedler.
