The Armenian Community Coalition endorsed the Pasadena City Council
Member on Thursday, Sept. 29.
Pasadena City Council Member Chris Holden picked up the endorsement of
the Armenian Community Coalition on Thursday in his bid to represent
Sierra Madre and other nearby communities in the newly redrawn State
Assembly district.
The group announced their endorsement of Holden while pointing to
an underrepresentation for Armenians in local and state government,
the Pasadena Star-News reported Sunday.
Holden is vying to replace Assemblyman Tim Donnelly in representing
the area which, following recent redistricting, no longer includes
Donnelly's hometown of Twin Peaks, CA.
The new district, as drawn and approved by the California Citizen's
Redistricting Committee, covers an area including Sierra Madre,
Altadena, Pasadena, South Pasadena and Monrovia, as well as a group of
cities in eastern Los Angeles County that are geographically linked to
the western cities only through the Angeles National Forest including
San Dimas, parts of Claremont and La Verne and Upland.
