Angeles area this Sunday," commented ANC-PN Chairman Arbi Karapetian.
"With the new 110th Congress in place in Washington, DC it is timely to
have Charlie in town. I am confident that Armenian Americans
professionals will enjoy sharing time with Charlie this Sunday,"
Karapetian added.
Charles Mahtesian is editor of the Almanac of American Politics,

Governing magazine, where he covered state legislatures, governors and
urban politics. He began his career reporting on elections and
congressional redistricting for Congressional Quarterly, where he was
also a contributing writer to the reference books, Politics in America
and Congressional Districts in the 1990s. He has served as an election
night analyst for National Public Radio and appeared on numerous radio
and television programs, including NPR’s All Things Considered, C-Span’s
Washington Journal, and on CNN and the BBC.
Mahtesian has written for a variety of newspapers, journals and
magazines including The Weekly Standard, Campaigns and Elections, and
Congress Daily. He currently writes a monthly column on politics for
Government Executive magazine and is a contributing writer and editor at
National Journal magazine. He earned his bachelor’s degree in politics
from Catholic University in Washington, D.C. and his J.D. from American
University.
The ANC-PN is pleased to provide Armenian American professionals the
opportunity to gain insight on American political issues directly from a
leading political expert from our nation’s capital. Please arrive at the
