BETHESDA, MD. - Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chair 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, reported the Armenian National Committee of
America - Greater Washington (ANCA-GW).
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
state-level 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."
