ANC OF ILLINOIS ANNOUNCES ENDORSEMENTS IN
FEBRUARY 5TH ILLINOIS PRIMARY
Glenview, IL --- Armenian American voters throughout Illinois are
gearing up for the February 5th primary elections. With the recent
announcement of the ANCA's endorsement of Illinois Senator Barack
Obama for the Presidential Democratic Primary, the ANC of Illinois
has also announced their Congressional endorsements of the primary
races taking place this Super Tuesday.
"The ANC of Illinois plays a vital role in the Armenian community
alerting them of the best Congressional candidates that are
favorable in our issues," commented Ari Killian, ANC of Illinois
Chairman. "This past Congress we continued to build solid
relationships with various members of Congress that has led us to
the following endorsements."
Of the 14 northern Congressional districts that the ANC of Illinois
oversees, those facing challengers in the February 5th primaries
that have been endorsed by the ANCA include: Bobby Rush (D-1),
Daniel Lipinski (D-3), Danny Davis (D-7), and Janice Schakowsky (D-
9), all who have been instrumental in promoting the Armenian cause.
The ANC of Illinois has also been active in sending out the ANCA
Congressional Questionnaire to those candidates facing challengers
in the November election as well and will announce endorsements for
the November elections in the coming months.
State House Representative Paul Froehlich (D-56) was also endorsed
by the ANC of Illinois. Froehlich was instrumental in introducing
HB0312 in 2005, legislation mandating the teaching of genocide in
Illinois.
The Armenian National Committee of Illinois is part of the largest
and most influential Armenian American grassroots political
organization. Working in coordination with a network of offices,
chapters, and supporters throughout the United States and
affiliated organizations around the world, the ANCA actively
advances the concerns of the Armenian American community on a broad
range of issues.
