On April 14, Garen Yegparian hopes to finish in the top 3 out of 6
candidates vying for three seats on the Burbank City Council. On
February 24, with nearly 2,000 votes, Yegparian finished in the
top half of a crowded and competitive field, clearing the way for a
spirited campaign over the next 6 weeks.

"This is the best any Armenian-American council candidate has ever
done in Burbank," Yegparian said to a celebratory crowd of 117 people
at Armenian-owned Fantasia Bar & Billiards Hall in Beautiful Downtown
Burbank.

"My donors, supporters, volunteers and strategists made this possible,"
Yegparian said. "Now we must not miss a beat and forge full-speed-ahead
toward April 14," he added.

Yegparian has been an active force in Burbank over the past 15
years, serving on more appointed boards and commissions than any
other candidate.

The Ivy-league educated Los Angeles City employee is currently the
Chairman of the Burbank Park & Recreation Committee.

Additionally, Yegparian received endorsements from Assemblyman
Paul Krekorian, Burbank School Board President Larry Applebaum,
former Burbank Mayor Todd Campbell, the Sierra Club, the National
Organization for Women and the Armenian National Committee Political
Action Committee (ANC-PAC).
