Feinstein Wins Backing of City Atty. Hahn
City Atty. James K. Hahn endorsed Dianne Feinstein in her bid for the Democratic nomination for governor Thursday and announced that he will chair her campaign in Los Angeles County.
“Dianne Feinstein proved she was an effective, capable leader while serving as mayor of San Francisco for nearly a decade,” Hahn told a news conference. “I am proud to enthusiastically endorse (her) for governor and to actively participate in her election efforts.”
County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, the city attorney’s father, has not taken a stand in the race between Feinstein and her opponent for the Democratic nomination, state Atty. Gen. John K. Van de Kamp. The attorney general had no comment on Hahn’s announcement, according to his campaign spokesman, Duane Peterson.
Van de Kamp has received the endorsement of San Francisco City Atty. Louise Renne, who was appointed by Feinstein.
