LOS ANGELES, CA - The Armenian National of Committee of America - Western
Region (ANCA-WR) announced it will be hosting a special speaking and
networking event, as part of its Leadership Speaker Series, on February 24th
featuring Charles Mahtesian, editor of the Almanac of Politics. Mahtesian

in Congress, and the possibility of a new direction for America. The unique
event will also draw political staffers from various federal and state
legislators' offices throughout southern California.
Charles Mahtesian is the editor of the Almanac of American Politics, the
biennial book often referred to as "the bible of American politics." Prior
to joining the Almanac, he spent eight years as a national correspondent for
Governing magazine, where he covered state legislatures, governors, and
urban politics. He began his career reporting on elections and congressional
redistricting for Congressional Quarterly, where he was also a contributing
writer to the reference books, Politics in America and Congressional
Districts in the 1990s.
Mahtesian has served as an election night analyst on National Public Radio
and appeared on numerous radio and television programs, including NPR's All
Things Considered, C-Span's Washington Journal, and on CNN and the BBC. He
has written for a variety of newspapers, journals, and magazines including
The Weekly Standard, Campaigns and Elections, and Congress Daily. He
currently writes a monthly column on politics for Government Executive
magazine. Mahtesian earned his bachelor's degree in politics from Catholic
University in Washington D.C. and his J.D. from American University.
In 2006, Charles Mahtesian delivered the keynote address during the ANCA's
Leadership Conference held in Washington D.C. Mahtesian provided the
conference attendees with a comprehensive overview of the political
landscape in the 2006 general election.
The event will take place on Saturday, February 24, 2007 at Los Angeles City
Hall on 200 North Spring Street in the Tom Bradley Room, 26th Floor. For
more information or to RSVP, please call the ANCA-WR office at (818)

the United States and affiliated organizations around the world, the ANCA
actively advances the concerns of the Armenian American community on a broad
