GLENDALE - The National Organization of Armenian Republicans (NORA) is
proud to endorse Greg Krikorian in the general election for the 43rd
district of the California Assembly. Krikorian has served as an
exemplary member of the Board of Education of the Glendale Unified
School District for the past 11 years and NORA believes he would bring
tremendous experience to the Assembly. Krikorian has also been
endorsed by Governor George Deukmejian and Supervisor Mike Antonovich.
`We are pleased to announce our support for Greg Krikorian. Greg is an
exceptionally hard-working public servant, a highly effective advocate
and champion for the Republican Party, and a proud son of the Armenian
American community,' said Aram Gaboudian, Chairman of NORA. `Every
single vote for Greg on November 6th will be vital to his victory. We
must send Greg to Sacramento to represent the district with the
largest concentration of Armenian Americans in California.'
Krikorian and his wife Christine, a school teacher in Burbank, have
raised a family of five kids, all of whom are attending or graduated
from Glendale public schools. Krikorian is a small businessman who
understands the challenges facing business in California. He is
committed to helping California once again attain its standing for
being an innovative pro-business state and not one run by anti-growth
special interests. Krikorian and his family have been active in
Armenian American organizations for decades and appreciate the
importance of civic involvement amongst Armenian Americans.
`It is an honor to have NORA, the leading Armenian American Republican
organization, support my campaign,' said Krikorian. `Leaders from the
NORA have been active in helping my campaign and with their support,
as well as that from other Armenian American organizations, we believe
that we will win in November.
Krikorian faces Assemblyman Mike Gatto of Silver Lake. Gatto has been
a vocal opponent of measures supported by Armenian Americans and has
even sponsored legislation which makes it harder for older Armenian
American voters to exercise their voting rights. Gatto's supporters
have even taken to questioning Krikorian's patriotism based on
Krikorian's support for Armenian issues.
`We believe it is time for Armenian Americans to start being
represented properly,' said Gaboudian. `It is in our ability to help
elect a leader to show Sacramento that we as a strong proud community
will not be told who our representatives should be. Electing Greg to
the Assembly would send a strong message that Armenian Americans can,
and will, have a say in our own interests and the better interests of
the great state of California'
NORA is co-sponsoring a campaign event for Krikorian featuring
Governor George Deukmejian on Sunday August 26 at Arbat Banquet Hall
in Burbank. Please visit the NORA website at
www.republicansarmenians.org for more information about the event and
on details on how you can help elect Greg Krikorian.
Krikorian has also been endorsed by the Armenian National Committee of
America, Western Region (ANCA-WR), the Filipino American Business
Association of Glendale, and other organizations based in the 43rd
Assembly District. The candidate plans to announce additional
endorsements at the August 26 function and in the coming weeks.
NORA is state and federally registered political action committee
established to support campaign committees for politicians who share
the values of the Armenian American community.
