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."
