Supporters of the Armenian National Committee - Political Action
Committee (ANC-PAC) attended a fundraiser in support of Republican
Congressman Buck McKeon (R-CA). Congressman McKeon, whose district
spans the northern portion of Los Angeles County and beyond, is the
ranking member of the House Education and Labor Committee and a senior
member of the Armed Services Committee.
"Buck is a true friend of the Armenian American community," commented
ANC-PAC supporter Ara Bedrosian. "From my days working on Capitol Hill
as a congressional aide, I remember the Congressman always going to
bat for our community, whether in support of the Armenian Genocide,
support for Artsakh, or any other issue," Bedrosian added. A number of
other ANC-PAC supporters attended the gathering, including Dr. Armen
Kassabian and Peter Musurlian.
Since his election to Congress in 1992 he has been a staunch
supporter of Armenian American issues pending in the U.S. House of
Representatives. In the 110th Congress, he has sponsored H.Res. 106,
the Armenian Genocide resolution. The event for Congressman McKeon
was hosted by Armenian Americans Steve and Diane Arklin of Canyon
Country, California. The Arklin family has played a prominent role
in the Armenian American community in southern California.
Buck McKeon was elected to represent the 25th Congressional District of
California in 1992. The 25th Congressional District includes the Santa
Clarita and Antelope Valleys, portions of San Bernardino County and
all of the Inyo and Mono Counties. Prior to his election to Congress,
he served as a William S. Hart Union High School District Board of
Trustees member and later a member of the City of Santa Clarita's
city council.
