Gov. Deukmejian with Greg Krikorian
GLENDALE-Greg Krikorian's campaign to become the next Assemblyman for
the newly redrawn 43rd State Assembly District, received yet another
endorsement from a California political icon. Former California
Governor George Deukmejian has endorsed Krikorian's candidacy.
"I am truly humbled to receive Governor Deukmejian's endorsement. Over
the course of my career in public service, Governor Deukmejian has
been an inspiration to me," stated Krikorian. "He embodies all the
qualities those of us who aspire to be in public office should have -
integrity, dignity and a dedication to those he represents, not to
special interests."
Seldom in the public eye for the last few years, Governor Deukmejian
has stepped forward and voiced his support for Krikorian. "California
can no longer afford 'politics as usual', with a revolving door
legislature which replaces one bureaucrat with another," commented
Deukmejian. "We need fresh leaders to move our state beyond the status
quo and break the partisan barriers. During his last eleven years on
the Glendale School Board and publishing Business Life Magazine for the
past 22 years with his father John Krikorian, Greg has demonstrated
himself to be such a leader who is dedicated to our country. He has
all my support."
"In many ways, the challenges we face today are not unlike the
challenges the Governor faced when he took office. At that time,
California had a $1.5 billion budget deficit with an unemployment rate
of 11.2%. His policies dug California out from under and generated
a billion dollar surplus in just a few short years. I look forward
to tackling the challenges we have today and work to reverse the
unsustainable course California has been placed on. Like Governor
Deukmejian, I oppose tax increases as a way out of our budget crisis
and will work to implement sensible policies to put us back on the
path of prosperity and sustainability," added Krikorian
"We have to make every effort to renew our quest to create job
opportunities for our residents! I'm committed to advocate for jobs
and small business, we need to get back to the basics to attract
and retain business. Unfortunately, the norm of today is to see far
too many businesses closing their doors on a daily basis after being
strangled by over regulation. Our state's economic crisis directly
and negatively affects our public safety, education, healthcare,
and senior services to name a few," stated Krikorian
"Public education funding continues to decline forcing many schools to
increase class size, lay off teachers and cut crucial programs. Having
three of my five children in college, I see first hand their and
other student's challenges, either ending up on a waiting list or
even being denied the opportunity to get an education. Its come to a
point were our government has grown too big and is denying our youth
the opportunity for the American Dream," said Krikorian.
The newly redrawn 43rd Assembly district serves Burbank, Glendale,
La Crescenta, Montrose, La Canada, Atwater Village, Los Feliz, East
Hollywood, Little Armenia and Griffith Park. The primary is this June
6th and the General Election is November 5th 2012.
