About Kathryn Barger

Kathryn Barger has served on the Metro Board since 2016, when she was elected to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, representing the Fifth District. Kathryn is a lifelong resident of the Fifth District who began her career in public service as a student intern in the office of Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich while earning her BA in Communications from Ohio Wesleyan University. She rose to become his Chief Deputy Supervisor in 2001, where she served until her election to the Board.

During the course of her county career as the Chief Policy Advisor on Health, Mental Health, Social Service and Children's issues, Kathryn provided leadership to deliver efficient and effective services and programs that have significantly improved the quality of life for foster children, seniors, veterans, the disabled and the mentally ill.

Committed to keeping our neighborhoods and communities safe, she has worked with state and federal leaders along with our County District Attorney's office, Sheriff, and other law enforcement agencies to implement tough laws and vital public safety initiatives.
