The Armenian National Committee - Political Action Committee supported
Warren Furutani for California State Assembly. Furutani was serving
his third term as a member of the Los Angeles Community College
Board of Trustees. Furutani has also served two terms on the Los
Angeles Board of Education, the largest school district in the State
of California. The special election in the 55th District was held on
Tuesday, December 11, 2007.
"We look forward to working with Warren and building stronger ties
between the Armenian American and Asian American communities," said
ANC-PAC spokesperson Ara Papazian. "There is a lot of common ground
between our communities," he added.
In a recent meeting with the ANC officials, Furutani discussed issues
of concern to the Armenian American community and opportunities
for greater civic collaboration between Armenian American and
Asian American communities. Furutani also discussed his support for
H.Res.106, the Armenian Genocide resolution and similar human rights
legislation (H.Res.121) that addresses World War II-era human rights
abuses by Japan.
Furutani, a fourth-generation Japanese American, is a longtime educator
and community advocate. He has served as the president of the Los
Angeles Community College Board of Trustees as well as the Los Angeles
Board of Education. He is a candidate for the 55th Assembly District
which became an open seat following Laura Richardson's election to the
United States House of Representatives earlier this year. The 55th
Assembly District encompasses the areas in and around Wilmington,
Harbor City, Carson, and parts of Long Beach and Lakewood.
Born and raised in southern California, Warren graduated from Gardena
High School and attended several community colleges before receiving
his BA degree from Antioch College.
