Political Quotes

“The residents of California's 36th Congressional District chose Janice Hahn last week in a special election to succeed our esteemed colleague Jane Harman. Jane will be missed, but we welcome Janice to Congress where she will undoubtedly serve as a powerful champion for her constituents. She begins her career in Congress with a strong record of fighting for jobs, the environment and working families. As a city of Los Angeles councilwoman, she led successful initiatives to improve her community. She created jobs by standing with unions and advocating for development to promote tourism. She worked to clean the air in L.A. by addressing the pollution from the ports and by enacting strong diesel truck emission standards. She stood with working families through her support of living wages and health care. Janice carries on the legacy of her father, Kenny Hahn, a former Los Angeles County supervisor and a passionate civil rights advocate. As a United States Congresswoman, Janice will surely add more victories to her already long list of accomplishments. She is joined today by her son Danny; daughter, Katy; son-in-law, John; and three grandchildren--Brooklyn, McKenna and Josiah.”
