Janice Kay Hahn (born March 30, 1952) is the incumbent member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for the Fourth District. A member of the Democratic Party, she was the Representative from California's 44th congressional district from 2011 to 2016. She was previously a Los Angeles City Councilwoman representing the 15th district from 2001-11. From 1997-99 she served as an elected representative on the Los Angeles Charter Reform Commission.
On July 12, 2011, Hahn won a special election for Congress to fill the seat vacated by Democrat Jane Harman. She defeated Republican Craig Huey, a Tea Party-backed direct marketer from the Torrance area, with 55 percent of the vote to Huey's 45 percent.
In February 2015, Hahn announced she was retiring from Congress to run for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. In the November 8 general election, Hahn defeated Steve Napolitano to succeed Don Knabe to become the next Los Angeles Supervisor from District 4. She was sworn in on December 5, 2016.
Hahn was born in Los Angeles and raised in a politically involved family. She is the daughter of Ramona Belle (née Fox) and Kenneth Frederick Hahn, a 40-year Los Angeles County Supervisor who started his career in elective politics as a Los Angeles City Councilman.
