LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell provided the following statement on the passing of the honorable Nate Holden:

“We have lost a champion for civil rights, economic justice, and an equitable Los Angeles with the passing of the Honorable Nate Holden. He led with courage, carrying the spirit of his younger days as a boxer into the political arena – using policy and rhetoric to fight discrimination, challenge police misconduct, and demand accountability in public service. I, along with so many others, stand on his shoulders. Rest in power, Mr. Holden, and thank you for your enduring impact and service.”
