Armenian Americans in the Silver State will be heading to the polls
on November 4th to vote for Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (NV-1). This
week the Congresswoman secured a strong endorsement from the nation’s
largest and most active Armenian American political action committee,
the Armenian National Committee – Political Action Committee (ANC-PAC).
"Every Armenian American I know will be voting for Shelley this
November," shared ANC-PAC supporter and Las Vegas resident Ara
Shirinian. "Shelley has been a friend to us here in Las Vegas and a
friend for us on legislative issues regarding Armenia in Washington,
DC," Shirinian added.
Next month, supporters of the ANC-PAC will be hosting a fundraiser for
Congresswoman Berkley. For more information on this event individuals
are encouraged to contact Ara Shirinian at (702) 496-4985.
Congresswoman Berkley began serving in the U.S. House of
Representatives in January of 1999. She represents the First
Congressional District of Nevada, which includes Las Vegas, North
Las Vegas, and unincorporated areas in Clark County. The district is
home to a large and growing Armenian American community and a diverse
number of Armenian civic organizations.
