WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a letter to the Armenian Assembly of
America (Assembly), Rep. TJ Cox (D-CA) applauded Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) for
receiving the Deukmejian Award for Public Service, and expressed his
appreciation to the Assembly’s ongoing efforts to strengthen U.S.-Armenia
relations.
“This is a
well-deserved tribute to Congresswoman Speier for her commitment to the pursuit
of strong U.S.-Armenia relations. With over a decade of service in the House of
Representatives, Congresswoman Speier has remained committed to solidifying the
Republic of Armenia’s democracy and her leadership has been vital in developing
stronger ties between our two countries,” Rep. Cox told the Assembly.
Congresswoman
Speier was honored for her exemplary work in the U.S. House of Representatives,
as well as her leadership, dedication, and passionate support of Armenia and
Artsakh. Armenian American leaders and activists throughout the United States
attended the Gala in Washington, D.C., which was part of the Armenian Assembly
of America's 2019 National Advocacy Conference.
“I’d also
like to extend my deep appreciation to the Armenian Assembly for your ongoing
efforts to strengthen the bilateratl relations between the Republic of Armenia
and the United States. The Armenian Assembly has been a partner since its
inception and your leadership has helped engage us as elected officials with the
critical needs facing the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian-American
community in the United States,” Rep. Cox said.
“As a proud
member of the Congressional Armenian Caucus, I look forward to partnering with
