With Midterm Elections approaching on November 8th, Armenian-Americans have a vital opportunity and responsibility to ensure our community’s collective voice is heard, and to play a significant role in shaping the country’s future.
Please see the ANCA-WR final list of endorsed candidates for the 2022 Midterm Elections. Candidates were endorsed based on their proven track-record and understanding of Armenian-American community issues and policy priorities.
If you notice that a candidate who has previously served you in Congress is missing from this list, urge them to earn your vote by proving their support for the Armenian Community and backing pro-Armenian and pro-Artsakh legislation.
