Maryland Campaign Hrant Jamgochian and Congressional Armenian Caucus
Co-Chair Frank Pallone were joined by a growing and diverse group of
Armenian-American and local area voters at the campaign's fundraising
kick-off hosted by Nancy Greenspan.
The reception, graciously hosted by 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 his positions on a
broad range of local and state-wide issues, ranging from healthcare
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 state-level office."
In remarks voicing his support for the campaign, Pallone cited his
own long and productive working relationship with him on healthcare
issues, saying that 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."
"This election is about values, and communicating those values to
our neighbors," Jamgochian explained. "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 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."
