Harold Edward Hofmann (July 19, 1932 – November 16, 2013) was an American politician and 23-year Mayor of Lawndale, California. Born in Montebello, California,[1] 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.[1] He wasn't elected to the council until April 1980. Hofmann won re-election in 1984.[1] He was first elected as mayor in April 1990, running on a platform of accountability among City Hall workers and improving the city's appearance. In a city without term limits and running unopposed in most elections, Hofmann was Lawndale's mayor until his death in 2013.[1] Before his political career, Hofmann served in the United States Army. At the age of 23, he owned a utility contracting business.[1] He was married for over 60 years until his death. He and wife Doris had three children.
