100 PERCENT OF ARMENIAN CAUCUS MEMBERS REELECTED TO CONGRESS
13:38, 14 Nov 2014
Following the 2014 midterm election, all Members of the Congressional
Caucus on Armenian Issues who sought reelection to their house seat
won reelection, reported the Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly).
The overwhelming success rate of pro-Armenia candidates in the U.S.
House of Representatives is the highest ever recorded.
"We congratulate all of our friends in Congress on their successful
reelection," stated Assembly Executive Director Bryan Ardouny. "The
challenges we face in the next Congress will require us to redouble our
efforts and strengthen the focus of the Armenian Caucus, especially
as we begin to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,
seek additional steps to protect our allies Armenia and Nagorno
Karabakh from foreign aggression, and work to deepen the US-Armenia
relationship," Ardouny said.
One race involving a prominent member of the Armenian Caucus has not
yet been decided, but the incumbent currently leads and is expected
to win reelection according to democratic pollsters.
It should be noted that although pro-Armenia candidates were
resoundingly successful at the ballot box this cycle, Armenian
Americans will lose 20 Armenian Caucus members due to retirement,
resignation, primary defeat, or because they sought other office.
Thus, at the beginning of the next Congress, the Armenian Caucus will
start with 93 Members of Congress.
