    YEREVAN, JUNE 26, ARMENPRESS: Congressional Armenian Caucus CoChair
    Frank Pallone (D-NJ) joined an enthusiastic crowd of more than a
    hundred Maryland community leaders and activists in a strong show of
    support for House of Delegates candidate Hrant Jamgochian's June 17th
    campaign fundraising kick-off, reports Armenpress referring to the
    Armenian National Committee of America - Greater Washington (ANCAGW).

    The reception, graciously hosted by Mrs. Nancy Greenspan at her
    Bethesda home, was an opportunity for area voters and supporters,
    including a diverse cross-section of the local Armenian American
    community, to stand with Jamgochian's campaign and support Hrant's
    positions on a broad range of local and state-wide issues, ranging
    from health care and education to the environment and economy.

    "We're pleased to see Hrant in the lead as the front-runner in this
    race, and proud to support his campaign every step to victory,"
    said ANCA Greater Washington Chairwoman Sevan Kolejian. "We look
    forward to helping Hrant spread his message to Maryland voters and to
    playing our part in electing Maryland's first-ever Armenian American
    to statelevel office."

    In remarks voicing his support for Hrant's campaign, Congressman
    Pallone cited his own long and productive working relationship with him
    on healthcare issues, saying: "He [Jamgochian] is an extraordinarily
    respected and strong voice on patients' rights and works tirelessly
    in the non-profit sector to advance healthcare rights to the most
    vulnerable members of our society. As the Ranking Member in the House
    Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, I can tell you that Hrant
    has got it right when it comes to good democratic values and a true
    commitment when it comes to access affordability and quality of care
    for all Maryland residents."

    Jamgochian explained, "This election is about values, and communicating
    those values to our neighbors. We believe in protecting the most
    vulnerable members of society, in fostering an affordable and
    accessible educational system, and in an economy where people pay
    their fair share and we are able to find jobs in the fields we have
    spent years preparing for."

    On hand to lend their assistance to the Jamgochian campaign
    that evening were three of this year's ANCA Leo Sarkisian summer
    interns: Manoug Alemian, Taleen Lachinian and Tamar Purut. "Hrant's
    enthusiasm and commitment to community outreach and empowerment was
    inspirational," said Lachinian, who had met Jamgochian and his wife,
    Lenna, the day before at the Soorp Khatch Armenian Church Father's
    Day Picnic. "We need more Armenian Americans in elected office, and
    it's encouraging to see dedicated professionals like Hrant devoting
    their lives to public service."
