    818-254-7391 ACA Announces Endorsements For Glendale Elections


    GLENDALE - For the upcoming Glendale City Municipal elections on April
    5th, the Armenian Council of America, a political action committee, on
    Tuesday March 1st, 2005, announced its endorsement of current Glendale
    City Mayor Bob Yousefian, Council Member Frank Quintero, Glendale
    Community College Trustee Ara Najarian and Glendale community activist
    Garry Sinanian, for the four city council seats.

    For Glendale City Clerk's office and City treasurer's office, the ACA
    is endorsing city employee Paulette Mardikian and incumbent treasurer
    Ronald Borucki respectively.

    The ACA also announced its endorsement of Board President Greg
    Krikorian and Board Member Chakib `Chuck' Sambar for two of three open
    seats in the Glendale Unified School District Governing Board
    elections.

    As for the Glendale Community College Board of Trustees elections the
    ACA is giving open endorsement without specifying any individual
    candidate.

    `In the past few months, the election endorsement sub committee,
    interviewed and carefully studied the agenda of the candidates,'
    stated ACA Executive Director Mr. Peter Darakjian, `we feel these
    individuals are best suited to represent the Glendale community, and
    that is why it is important that the Armenian-American community
    mobilize and vote for these individuals in the April 5th elections.'

    ACA board chairman Mr. Vasken Khodanian stated; `with so many
    individuals running, we felt it necessary to endorse candidates who we
    have worked with before in different capacities and believe that will
    better represent the needs of our community.'

    Besides endorsing above officials, ACA is also actively engaged in
    educating the mass about the importance of voting and urges every
    citizen to fulfill his/her civic duty.



    The Armenian Council of America is a grassroots organization dedicated
    to educating the Armenian-American community in local political
    affairs, as well as actively pursuing Armenian-American participation
    in their respective local governments.
