Los Angeles County DA candidate Nathan Hochman records a selfie during voting at Paul Revere Charter Middle School in Brentwood on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024. Hocman won the race against incumbent DA George Gascón. Katz has been with the District Attorney’s Office since 1990 after graduating from the UCLA School of Law in 1989.
He has led the office’s Parole Division, Writs and Appeals Division, Airport Branch and Public Integrity Division. He has also served as a chair and member of the Executive Committee of the Criminal Law Section of the California State Bar.“I have known Steve Katz for over 40 years and can unequivocally attest to his exceptional character and integrity,” Hochman said.
Gascón was swept into office four years ago with a progressive platform that later made him a target of critics who accused him of being soft on crime.
