GLENDALE—The Armenian National Committee of America – Glendale and Crescenta Valley Chapters announce the endorsement of incumbent Councilmembers Zareh Sinanyan and Ara Najarian for two of the three seats on the Glendale City Council. The organization has chosen to leave the third seat open.
Ten candidates are competing for three City Council seats up for election. On April 4, voters will be able to choose up to three individuals for a four year term on the City Council. The organization’s decisions to endorse the two incumbents Sinanyan and Najarian, but leave the third seat open comes after a long evaluation process. Candidates were first asked to answer a detailed questionnaire which helped the ANCA Election Committee determine the candidates’ views, stance, and approach in regards to specific issues. The Committee also held formal interviews with the incumbents in order to assess the work they accomplished during their term in office and what they plan to do if reelected.
“Zareh Sinanyan and Ara Najarian have a proven record of advocating for the betterment of Glendale’s diverse population and working closely with the Armenian American Community. It was difficult to reach a decision for the third seat due to the number of qualified candidates. We urge voters to familiarize themselves with all of the candidates and vote accordingly,â€
