Armenian community candidates represented in all U.S. states

The Armenian community of the U.S. endorses 160 candidates running for the House of Representatives, Senate, Supreme Court and Governors at the midterm elections to be held today, November 2.

The community supports Representatives Adam Schiff and George Radanovich, co-chairmen of Congressional Armenian Caucus Frank Pallone and Mark Kirk, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, as well as Senators Barbara Boxer and Robert Menendez.

For the Armenian-American community most important is protection of the interests of the community and Armenia as a whole, said Aram Hamparian, executive director of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

In California, the Armenian community supports Jerry Brown for the post of Governor.
