The ANCA Endorsements are out and elections are around the corner and what an exciting election this is going to be. While New Jersey ANC activists get the word out about Senator Menendez and hosting fundraisers for various candidates, Chicago AYF and ANC activists are volunteering time in Congressional districts, Philadelphia constituents are making great strides with their Senator and Representatives, Massachusetts Armenian Americans gather in support of their Governor and Lt. Governor, and so much more.
Each ANC chapter should be contributing in some way towards the election. Take a look at the ANCA endorsements (listed below) and see if your Congressman or Senator has been endorsed by the ANCA. Looking for your Senator and Representative's ANCA Grade on Armenian American issues? Click here to get the complete picture.
Are you interested in getting involved with the campaign? Well if you are, we need your help. You can contact your local ANC chairman and find out what more you can do (check out http://www.anca.org/contact/contact_chapters.php to find your local ANC chair). If you do help out with a Congressional race, send the ANC Eastern Region a press release of your activities, be sure to include a photo as well as contact information and send it to ancaer@anca.org. Lets continue to make these next few weeks count my dedicating some time to those making our voices heard.
