Jim Hahn and Janice Hahn come from one of the most consequential families in Los Angeles public life – and are still shaping it today.Their father, Kenneth Hahn, served on the L.A. County Board of Supervisors for more than four decades – and left a legacy that both Jim and Janice have carried forward in their own ways.Jim is the only person to have held all three citywide offices in Los Angeles, including serving as the city’s 40th Mayor. Janice has served on the City Council, in Congress, and now on the very same Board of Supervisors as her father.In this episode, they share what it was like growing up with a beloved yet always-on-call father, and why being brother and sister led to very different timelines for finding their way into public life.We recorded in the Board Room of the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration, the very room where their father served, and where Janice serves today – a setting that made this conversation feel very personal. This is a serious — though warm and often funny — conversation about family legacy and public service. But, even after decades in public life, there’s still plenty of sibling button-pushing. Some things are universal.
