For more than a century, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) has fought to uplift the needs of the Armenian community. Throughout my career, I have been proud to stand alongside them in their fight for recognition and justice. Under my leadership, the County has declared April as Armenian History Month and April 24 as Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day to celebrate the diaspora’s contributions to the County and ensure that history is never forgotten. I was honored to help establish the permanent Armenian Genocide memorial in Grand Park in Downtown Los Angeles and celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the Armenian Holy Cross Cathedral in Montebello. I am proud to have the endorsement of ANCA Western Region, and look forward to our continued partnership to advocate on behalf of Armenian-Americans nationwide.

In Texas’s 28th District, Judge Tano Tijerina faces Rep. Henry Cuellar, who received an “F” from the ANCA and was charged in a federal indictment with accepting bribes from an oil company owned by the Government of Azerbaijan before receiving a presidential pardon in December 2025.

I’m proud to have the support of the Armenian National Committee of America Western Region. Their commitment to civic engagement and ensuring Armenian American voices are heard is an important part of building stronger, more inclusive communities. I’m grateful for their endorsement and look forward to working together to deliver for the East Bay.

We share many interests, especially the fight against hate and discrimination, and the recognition that the horrors of the past must never be forgotten, lest they be repeated.

These ANCA-WR endorsed candidates won their races outright on June 2 and do not appear on the November ballot.

It is an honor to earn the endorsement of ANCA-WR. Representing Little Armenia means fighting every day for a community with deep roots, cultural pride, and a long history of resilience. I remain committed to standing with Armenian families, protecting Armenian small businesses and institutions, confronting Armenophobia and genocide denial, and advocating for justice and human rights for Armenians everywhere, from Los Angeles to Artsakh and Armenia.
