process, which included meetings with candidates, an examination
of each candidate's track record with regards to issues of concern
to the Armenian-American community as well as their position on key
issues facing the State of California.
"As Congressman Brad Sherman's District Chief of Staff and Senior
Aide for the last nine years, I have developed a strong working
relationship the American Armenian community in the West San Fernando
Valley. I have long-standing relationships with ANCA members and
officers. I have also developed relationships with many Armenian
elected officials and community leaders," noted now ANCA WR endorsed
candidate Matt Dababneh. "Every year, I participate in dozens of
American Armenian events in the West San Fernando Valley, including
the Homenetmen Navasartian Games Festival where our office hosts a
booth every year and the yearly Armenian Genocide commemoration in
Montebello. I look forward to strengthening the relationship I have
built with the American Armenian community in the West San Fernando
Valley as a member of the California State Assembly," added Dababneh.
Topics covered during the meetings included the present political
climate in Sacramento, economic conditions and improvement in the
Valley, as well as, issues of interest to the Armenian American
community such as further fostering the long standing cooperation
between the Armenian American community and legislators in the
California Assembly, increasing scrutiny on the proliferation of the
Magnolia Charter schools in California, and increasing opportunities
for Armenian Americans in the civic and political forum.
"After a thorough process in which the ANCA North and West Valley
Chapters of the Western Region met with top tier candidates in this
race, our two chapters and the communities it represents fully endorse
Matt as the best qualified candidate to represent the Armenian-American
interests in the California State Assembly," stated Nareg Kitsinian,

solve problems. He has been a staunch supporter of Armenian issues
and showed his unwavering support on all Armenian-American issues
and has close ties to the San Fernando Valley Armenian community.

a longtime loyal friend to the Armenian-American community and is
a viable candidate for Assembly 45th District with extensive public
service experience and proven leadership qualities right in the heart
of the valley," stated Pierre Yenokian, Chairman of the North Valley
