The National Organization of Republican Armenians (NORA) announced
their support for Sunder Ramani to become the next Assemblymember
in the 43rd District. This important announcement reflects the ever
growing Armenian-American backing Ramani has received and the extensive
list of prominent supporters who have rallied to his cause.
Carlo Ghalian, a representative from NORA, said, “As an organization
dedicated to informing and educating the American-Armenian community
about Republican values and policies, the National Organization of
Republican Armenians is proud to support Sunder Ramani in his bid to
represent the 43rd Assembly District in the upcoming Special Election
run off.
NORA recognizes Ramani’s extensive community involvement prior to
declaring his candidacy to represent the 43rd assembly district. “As a
dedicated family man, an immigrant, and an entrepreneur, he shares much
with the members of our community. Just as importantly, he has served
this community long before he sought to represent it,” stated Ghalian.
Sunder Ramani claimed, “I am honored to have received NORA’s important
backing. If elected, I promise to work my hardest to represent the
outstanding members of this district.”
“We do not doubt that he will take to Sacrament the same can-do
attitude that he has exhibited for years and are certain that he will
do all of us proud as our next Assembly representative,” continued
Ghalian.
