CINCINNATI, Ohio - Brad Avakian, Armenian American Candidate for US
Representative, was in Ohio on September 17 -18, where he met with
Ohio Armenian Americans at fundraising events in Columbus and
Cincinnati. Mr. Avakian has served in both houses of the Oregon state

their beautiful home to the many guests who came to hear Mr. Avakian
outline his plan to help America get back to work. Safaryan added, `I
am really impressed with Brad's distinguished career as a public
servant, he's really dedicated to helping people.'
`I enjoyed my quick trip to Ohio,' said Avakian, adding, `I am
grateful to the Armenian American community for all of the wonderful
support they are providing.'
Brad's grandparents came to America at the turn of the last century.
