Gloria Molina, the first Latina to serve on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, passed away at the age of 64. Molina had been battling a long illness for several years, according to a statement released by her family.
Throughout her career in politics, Molina was an advocate for underrepresented communities and worked to build bridges between diverse communities. She was a trailblazer in more ways than one, becoming the first Latina to serve on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the first Latina to be elected to the California State Assembly.
Molina was also a champion for immigrant rights and was a leading voice in the fight against hate crimes directed at the Latino community. In addition, Molina was a key figure in developing policies that addressed homelessness, mental health, and public safety.
Molina will be remembered as a trailblazer and a champion for justice and equality. Her passing is a great loss to the Los Angeles community and to all who sought to make a difference in their communities.
