Hahn Says He’ll Run for Reelection Despite Stroke
- Share via
Kenneth Hahn, who has served nine four-year terms as a Los Angeles County supervisor, said today he will make an unprecedented 10th run at the office despite the debilitating effects of a stroke last year.
“I’m going to run, the Lord willing,” Hahn said. “I have reached this decision because, even after nine terms in office, I feel there is work yet to be done and new challenges still to be met.”
At a press conference, the wheelchair-bound Hahn, 68, said he feels he has successfully recovered from a stroke Jan. 11, 1987. The health of Hahn had prompted speculation about his ability to handle another four-year term as the 2nd District representative.
Hahn has missed half the board meetings since the stroke and has returned to work part time.
