Yegparian: A Campaign with a New Frontier

As you probably already know, Paul Krekorian is running for the LA City Council seat vacated by Wendy Greuel when she got elected city controller. This, the 2nd Council District, covers parts of the eastern San Fernando and western Crescenta Valleys, spanning from urban to almost rural areas.

Ten candidates are in the running. By all accounts, three of them are serious contenders, including, of course, Paul. The remainder runs the gamut from sincere but with no chance of winning, to the almost farcical.

Garen Yegparian

Garen Yegparian is a fat, bald guy who has too much to say and do for his own good. So, you know he loves mouthing off weekly about anything he damn well pleases to write about that he can remotely tie in to things Armenian. He's got a checkered past: principal of an Armenian school, project manager on a housing development, ANC-WR Executive Director, AYF Field worker (again on the left coast), Operations Director for a telecom startup, and a City of LA employee most recently (in three different departments so far). Plus, he's got delusions of breaking into electoral politics, meanwhile participating in other aspects of it and making sure to stay in trouble. His is a weekly column that appears originally in Asbarez, but has been republished to the Armenian Weekly for many years.
