Even Armenian-Americans were elected as Democratic Party delegates in
elections throughout California this weekend, reported the Armenian
National Committee of America - Western Region.
Based on unofficial results, Armenian-Americans were elected from the
43rd, 53rd and 58th Districts. In the 43rd District: Michael Kiaman,
Juliette Minassian, Nayiri Nahabedian, and Adrin Nazarian were elected
out of 47 candidates. In the 53rd District, Varo Asorian won in a
field of 47 candidates and in the 58th District: Alexandra Ananian
and Murad Minassian won in a field of 26 candidates. Alexandra Ananian
was also elected to the influential Executive Committee of the State
Central Committee.
"The ANCA-WR would like to congratulate all the Armenian-American
candidates who ran for Delegate this weekend," said Haig Hovsepian,
Government Affairs Director. He continued, "we are encouraged that
so many Armenian Americans participated in this weekend's elections
as candidates and as voters".
In the Glendale/Burbank based 43rd Assembly District, two competing
slates of candidates included four Armenians as a part of their teams,
while two Armenian candidates ran as a part of neither slate. Over
300 Democrats voted in the tightly contested race, which went into a
recount late into the night. The 43rd AD race saw Armenians elected
from both slates.
