    Even Armenian-Americans were elected as Democratic Party delegates in
    elections throughout California this weekend, reported the Armenian
    National Committee of America - Western Region.

    Based on unofficial results, Armenian-Americans were elected from the
    43rd, 53rd and 58th Districts. In the 43rd District: Michael Kiaman,
    Juliette Minassian, Nayiri Nahabedian, and Adrin Nazarian were elected
    out of 47 candidates. In the 53rd District, Varo Asorian won in a
    field of 47 candidates and in the 58th District: Alexandra Ananian
    and Murad Minassian won in a field of 26 candidates. Alexandra Ananian
    was also elected to the influential Executive Committee of the State
    Central Committee.

    "The ANCA-WR would like to congratulate all the Armenian-American
    candidates who ran for Delegate this weekend," said Haig Hovsepian,
    Government Affairs Director. He continued, "we are encouraged that
    so many Armenian Americans participated in this weekend's elections
    as candidates and as voters".

    In the Glendale/Burbank based 43rd Assembly District, two competing
    slates of candidates included four Armenians as a part of their teams,
    while two Armenian candidates ran as a part of neither slate. Over
    300 Democrats voted in the tightly contested race, which went into a
    recount late into the night. The 43rd AD race saw Armenians elected
    from both slates.
