LOS ANGELES, California – The Armenian National Committee of America – Western Region (ANCA-WR) has announced its list of Congressional and Regional Executive endorsements ahead of the upcoming Midterm Elections.

As a part of the endorsement process, the ANCA-WR Board works in conjunction with its local chapter constituents to carefully review each incumbent’s track record and each new candidate’s responses to a written questionnaire. Interviews are then conducted to determine which candidates are best able to serve the needs of the Armenian-American community. ANCA-WR endorsements are based largely on the candidate’s preparedness and ability to address issues ranging from justice for the Armenian Genocide, promoting Armenian Genocide education in public schools, support for the independent Republics of Armenia and Artsakh, and local community needs.

The ANCA-WR encourages all eligible Armenian-American voters to register and vote in the primary elections. The Midterm Elections will be held nationwide on November 8, 2022. A full page of election-related information can be found on the HyeVotes website.
