Sinanyan, Najarian, Kassakhian, Manoukian, Krikorian, Gharapetian
win Glendale elections
GLENDALE-With a message of unifying the Armenian-American electorate
and with a slate of endorsed candidates for the Glendale municipal
elections, the Armenian National Committee of American's Glendale
chapter registered almost sweeping victory in Tuesday's vote.
With 12 candidates running, the Glendale City Council race, which was
marred by a smear campaign saw three winners, according to results
posted by the Glendale City Clerk.
ANCA-Glendale endorsed candidates Zareh Sinanyan and incumbent Ara
Najarian will share the City Council with incumbent candidate Laura
Friedman. Najarian was the top vote getter 8,615, followed by Friedman
with 6,888 votes and Sinanyan with 6,122 votes.
Glendale City Clerk ANCA-endorsed Ardashess "Ardy" Kassakhian handily
won re-election with 10,335 votes.
It was also sweeping victory for ANCA-endorsed Councilmember Rafi
Manoukian, the lone candidate for the City Treasurer position. He
garnered 12,226 votes. A ballot measure-Measure A-which would have
made the position an appointed one failed with a vote of 11,602 to
4,001, making Manoukian the city's new treasurer.
In the Glendale Unified School District race, ANCA-endorsed candidates
Greg Krikorian and Dr. Armina Gharpetian won with 10,823 and 7,696
votes respectively. Christine Walters was second with 8,171 votes.
The ANCA-Glendale had also urged voters to vote No on all ballot
initiatives. Measures A (11,602 to 4,001) and C (8,248 to 6,537) were
defeated, while voters opted to support Measure B (7,482 to 7,439),
according to results posted by the Glendale City Clerk.
