Glendale Mayor Hosts Fundraiser For Paul Krekorian in State Assembly Race
Glendale, CA - Paul Krekorian, Burbank School Board President and the
leading candidate for California State Assembly in the 43rd district,
got another big boost when the Mayor of Glendale, Rafi Manoukian,
hosted a successful fundraiser for Krekorian in his home. The event
raised more than $35,000 toward Krekorian's campaign.
Four of the five members of the Glendale City Council were present at
the event. Councilmembers Ara Najarian, Dave Weaver, and Bob
Yousefian joined Mayor Manoukian in showing their support and
encouragement for Krekorian's bid for the Assembly. Glendale City
Clerk Ardy Kassakhian and Burbank City Councilmember Stacey Murphy
were also present to show their support. The large crowd also
included many city commissioners and community leaders. "I am deeply
honored that Mayor Manoukian and his wife Zovig opened their home in
support of this vitally important campaign," Krekorian said after the
event. "We've received tremendous support from the civic and
community leaders of Glendale and Burbank, which gives me great
encouragement. I will continue to work hard to earn that support and
to stand up for the interests of our community in Sacramento."
Krekorian is running for the State Assembly seat currently held by
Assemblymember Dario Frommer, who will be leaving the office because
of term limits. The district includes the communities of Glendale,
Burbank, North Hollywood, Silver Lake and Los Feliz, and is home to
the largest Armenian-American community in the United States.
Political analysts consider Krekorian the leading candidate in the
election, which will be held next June.
Mayor Manoukian spoke glowingly about Krekorian and emphasized to the
large crowd that he fully endorsed Krekorian and would work hard to
ensure his victory. Krekorian has also been endorsed by Burbank Mayor
Jef VanderBorght, Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, Congresswoman Linda
Sanchez, Senator Jackie Speier, Assemblymember Carol Liu and
Assemblymember Paul Koretz, among many others.
Krekorian spoke about his vision for California and thanked the
audience for their support and commitment. He also took a moment to
introduce his wife Tamar and their newest addition to the family, 7
week old son Andrew Levon Krekorian.
Krekorian supporters gather at Mayor Rafi Manoukian's home. Front
row: Zovig Manoukian, Dalida Keuroghlian, Mayor Rafi Manoukian, Nigol
Manoukian. Back row: Mike Keuroghlian, Tamar Krekorian, Paul
