ANCA-WR Congratulates Janice Hahn on Victory
Glendale - Fresh off her victory against Republican challenger, Craig
Huey, Congresswoman-elect Janice Hahn was congratulated by the
Armenian National Committee of America - Western Region (ANCA-WR). Ms.
Hahn had been endorsed by the ANCA-WR during the primaries and had
again received the organization's endorsement for the general special
election. She will be replacing the retired representative from the
district, Genocide denier Jane Harman.
ANCA-WR Board Chairman Andrew Kzirian said, `We are proud to support
candidates who have shown their leadership in standing up for human
rights and justice but also those who are dedicated to the community
they represent. Through our early support, we knew Janice Hahn was
that person and we are happy that voters in the South Bay agreed with
us on Election Day.'
He also added, `Our heart goes out to Ms. Hahn as we know that this
very joyous occasion unfortunately coincided with the passing of her
beloved mother. We offer our deepest condolences to her and her family
and we wish them only the best.' In an untimely death, Ms. Hahn's
mother had passed away the day before the election.
The campaign was also helped by a small but dedicated group of
Armenian American activists, led by ANCA-South Bay representative
Azniv Goenjian. Ms. Goenjian was in the campaign office regularly to
phone bank for the campaign and she commented on the impact she
believes it made:
`Although we had a big victory on Election Day, we were working until
the end, knowing that we couldn't take the win for granted. We pushed
until the end and Janice won a race she deserved to win.'
Congresswoman-elect Hahn is tentatively scheduled to be sworn in on
Tuesday, July 19, on the floor of the House of Representatives in
Washington, DC.
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.
