The National Organization of Armenian Republicans (NORA) will endorse Greg Krikorian in the general election for the 43rd district of the California Assembly. Asbarez reports that Krikorian has served as an exemplary member of the Board of Education of the Glendale Unified School District for the past 11 years and NORA believes he would bring tremendous experience to the Assembly. Krikorian has also been endorsed by Governor George Deukmejian and Supervisor Mike Antonovich.
“We are pleased to announce our support for Greg Krikorian. Greg is an exceptionally hard-working public servant, a highly effective advocate and champion for the Republican Party, and a proud son of the Armenian American community,” said Aram Gaboudian, Chairman of NORA. “Every single vote for Greg on November 6th will be vital to his victory. We must send Greg to Sacramento to represent the district with the largest concentration of Armenian Americans in California.”
Asbarez adds, “ Krikorian and his wife Christine, a school teacher in Burbank, have raised a family of five kids, all of whom are attending or graduated from Glendale public schools. Krikorian is a small businessman who understands the challenges facing business in California. He is committed to helping California once again attain its standing for being an innovative pro-business state and not one run by anti-growth special interests. Krikorian and his family have been active in Armenian American organizations for decades and appreciate the importance of civic involvement amongst Armenian Americans”.
“It is an honor to have NORA, the leading Armenian American Republican organization, support my campaign,” said Krikorian. “Leaders from the NORA have been active in helping my campaign and with their support, as well as that from other Armenian American organizations; we believe that we will win in November.
Krikorian faces Assemblyman Mike Gatto of Silver Lake.
