ARMENPAC LEADS THE WAY BY SPONSORING NATIONWIDE EVENTS IN SUPPORT OF
REPRESENTATIVE KNOLLENBERG
Irving, TX - ARMENPAC recently shepherded Armenian-Americans across
the nation to gather in support of Representative Joe Knollenberg's
(R-MI) reelection campaign at two very successful fundraisers hosted
in the Detroit, Michigan and Boston, Massachusetts areas. Members of
the local communities as well as several prominent Armenian-American
leaders were in attendance at both events. "ARMENPAC applauds the
Boston and Detroit communities for their financial commitments in
support of Representative Knollenberg. ARMENPAC also received many
contributions in support of Representative Knollenberg from the
Armenian-American community across the nation, and would like to
thank those from California to Florida who generously supported this
fundraising effort," said ARMENPAC Co-Chair Edgar Hagopian.
Representative Knollenberg's record on Armenian-American issues is
unparalleled. Most notably, he serves as one of the Co-Chairs of the
Congressional Caucus of Armenian Issues. Throughout his tenure in this
post, Representative Knollenberg has been instrumental in advocating
for Genocide affirmation and increased foreign aid to Armenia, in
addition to other legislative initiatives aimed at ensuring the
future stability and prosperity of the Republics of Armenia and
Nagorno Karabakh.
Representative Knollenberg represents Michigan's ninth Congressional
district, as well as the interests of every Armenian-American across
the nation. In addition to his commitment to the Armenian Caucus,
Representative Knollenberg is a member of the powerful Appropriations
Committee, which is responsible for, among other things, determining
how much foreign aid to grant foreign countries. As Chairman of
the Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, and
Housing and Urban Development, Representative Knollenberg is dubbed a
Cardinal among his colleagues in the House of Representatives. Thus,
Representative Knollenberg's reelection is critical to the Armenian
community, both here in the United States as well as in Armenia and
Nagorno Karabakh. "Representative Knollenberg's dedication to the
Armenian cause is supreme. He is a true champion of all Armenians
and we must do all that we can to ensure that he remains in office in
order to carry on his mission," said ARMENPAC Co-Chair Edgar Hagopian.
ARMENPAC recognizes and appreciates the great effort of those who
helped organize this national fundraising effort, namely Raffi and
Nina Festekjian (MA) and Tom and Debbie Krikorian (MI) who volunteered
their beautiful homes as venues for each event. ARMENPAC is also
grateful to the individual Co-Hosts of this fundraising effort,
including Dr. Noubar Afeyan (MA), Mr. Bryan Ardouny (VA), Mr.
Robert Avakian (MA), Mr. Gregory and Anita Boyajian (MI), Mr. Gerard
and Cleo Cafesjian (MN), Mr. George and Flora Dunaians (CA), ARMENPAC
Co-Chair Edgar and Sarah Hagopian (MI), Ms. Lucine Hartunian (MI),
ARMENPAC Board Member Jirair and Elizabeth Hovnanian (NJ), Mr.
Gregory and Sandra Jamian (MI), Mr. Aram Kaloosdian (MA), Mr. George
and Grace Kay (CA), ARMENPAC Treasurer Dr. Sarkis and Ida Kechejian
(TX), Mrs. Michael Ohanian (MA), Mr. Joe and Joyce Stein (CA), Mr.
Charles Talanian (MA), and Mr. Chuck and Tulie Yessaian (MI).
Both fundraising events were a tremendous success as well as a
wonderful opportunity for the Armenian-American community to show its
gratitude for Representative Knollenberg's leadership. "ARMENPAC is
confident that with the support of the Armenian-American community,
Representative Knollenberg will succeed in his reelection campaign,"
said ARMENPAC Executive Director Jason Capizzi.
ARMENPAC is an independent, bipartisan political action committee
with a nationwide membership. ARMENPAC raises awareness of,
and advocates for, policies that help create peace, security and
stability in the Caucasus region. ARMENPAC provides financial support
to federal officeholders, candidates, political action committees
and organizations that actively support issues of importance to
Armenian-Americans. For more information and how to join ARMENPAC,
