Krekorian moves ahead in funding

Burbank School Board President Paul Krekorian announced his campaign
for California State Assembly has successfully raised $408,900.

The number puts Krekorian ahead of his challenger, Glendale City
Council Member Frank Quintero, in fundraising for the 43rd Assembly
District race, which includes Burbank, Glendale, North Hollywood and
Los Feliz. The seat will be left open after Assemblyman Dario Frommer
terms out of the position.

Krekorian has $321,631 available from the Committee to Elect Paul
Krekorian, and an additional $82,500 from the group Education Leaders
Support Burbank School Board President Paul Krekorian, which is
sponsored by EdVoice Inc., a nonprofit group that advocates for
public education in the California Legislature.

Quintero, who on Saturday was endorsed by Frommer, has reported a
total of $321,982 on hand.

Krekorian claims to have received donations from 676 contributors, at
an average donation of $456.

Krekorian also received the endorsement of the Burbank Police
Officer’s Assn. last week. The endorsement was made in light of
Krekorian’s dedication to public safety and understanding of the
challenges police officers face, explained Mike Parrinello, president
of the association.
