The Armenian National Committee - Political Action Committee (ANC-PAC)
is pleased to announce its support of Nayiri Nahabedian for the 43rd
State Assembly District in the April 13th special election.
In a state which is home to the largest concentration of Armenian
Americans in the nation, the 80 member legislative body currently
stands with no members of Armenian ancestry.
Paul Krekorian's successful move to the Los Angeles City Council has
left his former seat in the district vacant. Despite the growing size
of the community in the last 20 years, Armenian-Americans stand to
lose a valuable voice in the State Assembly.
The ANC - PAC met with all the candidates participating in the election
to assess their qualifications and goals. After due consideration, the
committee was unanimously convinced that Nayiri Nahabedian possesses
the best qualifications to serve the constituents of the 43rd District.
Nayiri Nahabedian's strong background in leadership and public policy
has earned the trust of several key supporters including; Los Angeles
City Councilmember Paul Krekorian, Senator Carol Liu of Glendale,
Assemblymember Anthony Portantino of Pasadena, and numerous other
elected officials, political leaders, and community organizations. She
has been endorsed by a wide cross section of groups ranging from
the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and various other unions,
to teachers, professionals, law enforcement, and women's groups such
as the National Organization for Women (NOW).
Since Armenian-American voters represent only 16% of the registered
voters of the district, an electable candidate will need to appeal and
gain the support of non-Armenian voters as well. Nayiri Nahabedian
currently serves on the Glendale School Board and has earned her
credentials in successfully managing a large pubic educational entity
at a time of dwindling public funds. She was elected to that body by a
large and diverse base in the electorate, proving adept at garnering
a wide range of support outside of the Armenian-American community
as well.
Nayiri Nahabedian has raised an impressive amount of money since
declaring her candidacy. With more than $150,000 in contributions
since January 7th, Nahabedian has put an exclamation point on the
legitimacy of her effort. Along with an accomplished team of campaign
strategists and consultants, Nahabedian is well equipped to bring
victory home on April 13th.
The campaign team working to elect Nayiri Nahabedian has the best
knowledge of the electorate of the 43rd Assembly Dirstrict because
its members worked on Paul Krekorian's successful campaigns for the
Burbank School Board, State Assembly, and Los Angeles City Council.
Nayiri Nahabedian has dedicated her life to serving our community and
its institutions. Her service to the community includes co-founding
AGBU's Generation Next Mentorship program providing mentors to at-risk
youth in Glendale Schools. She has served as the ANC- Burbank Schools
Committee Chair and led the Forum for Armenian Cultural and Social
Studies.
California's 43rd Assembly District spans the cities of Burbank and
Glendale. It also includes portions of Los Angeles, including the
neighborhoods of Atwater Village, Laurel Grove, Los Feliz, Silver
Lake, North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, Toluca Woods, Toluca Terrace,
Valley Glen and Van Nuys.
Going forward, the Armenian-American community of the 43rd Assembly
District must stress the point - to all of its 32,000 registered voters
- that at this time of budgetary crisis and economic insecurity Nayiri
Nahabedian is the voice we want in the State Assembly.
The ANC-PAC joins countless others in urging you to support Nayiri
Nahabedian for victory on April 13, 2010.
The ANC-PAC is a non-partisan federally registered political action
committee established to support campaign committees for Members of
Congress who share the values of the Armenian American community. The
ANC-PAC is at the forefront of efforts to ensure that the voice of the
Armenian American community is clearly heard in our nation's capital.
The ANC-PAC continues a century old tradition of Armenian American
engagement on the public policy issues facing national political
leaders, both in the U.S. Congress and the White House.
