Hahn Will Leave Congress to Run for Local Seat

Rep. Janice Hahn (D-CA) will officially run for an open seat on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Roll Call: “Hahn, 62, is the second California House Democrat in two cycles to vacate a congressional seat to run for a supervisor position — an arguably more powerful role than being in the minority in Congress. In 2014, former Rep. Gloria Negrete McLeod left Congress to run for a San Bernadino County Board of Supervisors seat, but ultimately lost that race.”
