ANCA-WR 2014 endorsements
LOS ANGELES--The Armenian National Committee of America Western
Region announced its 2014 General Election endorsements, helping
Armenian Americans demonstrate their electoral strength to those
federal, state, and local candidates who have proven their ability
and intention to best serve the communities they will represent.
"It is our mission to continue to empower Armenian American voters
to cast informed votes at the ballot box on November 4," remarked
ANCA-WR Chair, Nora Hovsepian. "These endorsements are largely based
on candidates' responses to our questionnaires, detailed in-person
interviews, and our conclusion that the endorsed candidates are in the
best position and have shown the greatest commitment toward supporting
issues important to the Armenian American community."
Armenian American voters across the United States are urged to exercise
their right to vote in the General Election on November 4th and lend
their support to the candidates who have been steadfast advocates of
the Armenian Cause. Many of the elections taking place are going to
be won by a very slim margin. It is imperative that every eligible
citizen cast his or her vote in this General Election. The ANCA-WR
seeks to maximize the value of each individual vote and launched
the Hye Votes initiative in 2012 toward that goal, registering
thousands of new voters and encouraging all voters to cast their
timely ballots. Today, its dedicated team of volunteers and coalition
partners are still working tirelessly to ensure high voter turnout
among the Armenian-American community.
The 2014 General Election will take place on November 4, 2014. In order
to vote, you must be registered. The ANCA-WR urges community members
who are U.S. citizens and over the age of 18 not yet registered to
vote, to register by the October 20, 2014 deadline. To register to
vote online, request a vote by mail ballot or obtain additional
information, contact ANCA WR Hye Votes office at (818) 806-8683,

Report Cards, a detailed review of each incumbent's record across a
broad range of Armenian American issues. Report Cards, prepared in
consultation with regional leaders and local ANCA chapters across the
country, cover issues ranging from securing justice for the Armenian
Genocide and the strengthening U.S.-Armenia relations to defending
Nagorno Karabakh's independence, and increasing U.S. aid and trade
levels. Review the ANCA report cards.
The Armenian National Committee of America-Western Region is the
largest and most influential Armenian American grassroots advocacy
organization in the Western United States. Working in coordination
with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the
Western United States and affiliated organizations around the country,
the ANCA-WR advances the concerns of the Armenian American community
on a broad range of issues.
