Earlier this month the Armenian Council of America (ACA) had announced its official endorsement of U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer who is running for re-election in November.

“The ACA-PAC’s decision to endorse Senator Boxer stemmed from both her dedication to serving her constituents and her close working relationship with the people she represents in the State,” reads the statement by Armenian Council of America.

The ACA also supports Congressman Adam Schiff for the House of Representatives. “Congressman Schiff has been authored several bills defending the interests and rights of the Armenian-American community as well as the needs of the people in the Republic of Armenia,” said Sevak  Khatchadourian,  ACA Executive Board Member.

The Armenian Council of America also endorses Congressman Brad Sherman, representing the 27th Congressional District and Congressman Howard Berman who represents the 38th Congressional District. The ACA statement mentions that both of them made major contribution in promoting awareness on the Armenian Genocide, while Berman co-sponsored a Resolution condemning Genocide being a Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
