ANCA-WR Encourages GOTV for Janice Hahn in South Bay Election
Glendale - As electioneering approached its final day in the
Congressional race to succeed retired congresswoman Jane Harman, the
Armenian National Committee of America - Western Region (ANCA-WR)
encouraged voters in the South Bay to go to the polls on Tuesday, July
12, and cast their ballots for Janice Hahn.
In what is sure to be a special election plagued by low voter turnout,
the participation of Armenian Americans in the South Bay will have a
considerable impact on the results. Although the small but tightly
knit community has contributed to the campaign throughout the past
months, the closeness of the race has made their participation at the
polls doubly important.
The seat that is up for grabs was vacated by Jane Harman, a noted
Genocide denier in Congress, whose duplicitous behavior angered
Armenian Americans across the country, but especially those in her
district, many of whom had volunteered and donated to her campaigns.
Ms. Hahn has a track record of supporting Armenian Genocide
resolutions while on the Los Angeles City Council and has been
forceful in stating her continued support for proper Genocide
recognition.
`We are encouraging all of our supporters who live in the district to
make sure that they vote on Election Day, this Tuesday, so that Janice
Hahn is elected to Congress to represent the issues that are important
to us and to all people concerned with justice and human rights,' said
ANCA-WR Board Chairman, Andrew Kzirian.
The election in California's 36th district will take place on Tuesday,
July 12. Voters can find their polling location at

The Armenian National Committee of America-Western Region is the
largest and most influential Armenian American grassroots advocacy
organization in the Western United States. Working in coordination
with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the
Western United States and affiliated organizations around the country,
the ANCA-WR advances the concerns of the Armenian American community
on a broad range of issues.
