ANC of Sacramento Congratulates President Pro Tempore of the
California State Senate Darrell Steinberg
Sacramento, CA - Chairman of the Armenian National Committee of
Sacramento (ANC of Sacramento) Ohannes Boghossian attended a special
event held for State Senator Darrell Steinberg on December 1, 2008.
Boghossian congratulated Steinberg for his recent election to become
the 46th President Pro Tempore of the California State Senate.
"We have had a great relationship with State Senator Steinberg over
the years as he has been a close friend and supporter of the Armenian
American community," said Boghossian. "We congratulate the Senator in
his new post as President Pro Tempore of the California State Senate
and we look forward to continue our close work with him," he added.
Darrell Steinberg was elected on November 7, 2006 to the California
State Senate, representing the 6th District, which includes
Sacramento, parts of Elk Grove and Citrus Heights. On August 21, 2008,
Steinberg was voted by his Senate colleagues to be the next President
Pro Tempore of the State Senate. The President Pro Tempore is the
highest ranking leader and most powerful member of the California
Senate. The President Pro Tempore also chairs the Senate Rules
Committee. At the beginning of each two-year session, all Senators
elect a new President Pro Tempore, with Senator Steinberg being the
most recent Senator to be elected to this high post.
Prior to his election to the State Senate, Steinberg served three
terms representing the 9th District of the State Assembly, which
includes most of the capital city of Sacramento.
During his tenure in the Assembly, Steinberg served as Chair of the
Assembly Committees on Budget, Appropriations, Judiciary, Labor and
Employment, and the Select Committee on High Priority Schools. He
also served as a member of the Assembly Housing and Local Government
Committees.
Steinberg authored 70 state laws that cover a wide range of vital
public policy issues. He has also voted in favor of every Armenian
Genocide Resolution that has been put forth in the State Senate.
The ANC of Sacramento advocates for the social, economic, cultural,
and political rights of the area's Armenian American community and
promotes increased Armenian American civic participation at the
grassroots and public policy levels.
