Congresswoman Waters Remembers Lawndale's Mayor Harold Hofmann

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43) released the following statement on the passing of Lawndale's Mayor Harold Hofmann:

"I was very saddened to learn of the passing of my friend, Mayor Harold Hofmann. He was an exceptional and committed public servant who has always done what he believes is best for the City of Lawndale. Serving as mayor for 22 years and as a city council member for ten years, Mayor Hofmann was a kind and gentle man who exhibited his love for Lawndale daily through his words and actions.

"Mayor Hofmann enjoyed working with people to promote good government and safe neighborhoods. He was extremely thankful for the work that we were able to do together that brought resources to the city. He was particularly proud of the Lawndale Community Center, which we worked together to secure funding for.

"Mayor Hofmann was known for his perfect attendance record and his efforts to develop special events and programs. I always looked forward to seeing him at the many events he organized throughout Lawndale, especially the Memorial Day Service he held at Memorial Wall in front of city hall. He always led the city in honoring our service men and women that had sacrificed their lives for our country.

"Mayor Hofmann and his wife of 60 years Doris were truly a team. It is my hope that the wonderful memories of him, along with his dedicated service to Lawndale will help to comfort her and the entire Hofmann family during this difficult time."
