Who was Harold Hofmann?
Harold Edward Hofmann was an American politician and 23-year Mayor of Lawndale, California.
Born in Montebello, California, Hofmann lived in the same house where he was raised. He first ran for Lawndale City Council in 1976 out of frustration with local government. He wasn't elected to the council until April 1980. Hofmann won re-election in 1984.

Before his political career, Hofmann served in the United States Army. At the age of 23, he owned a utility contracting business. He was married for over 60 years until his death.
