On Jan. 24, Danny Tarkanian’s campaign for the United States Senate announced the recent endorsement by former California Governor George Deukmejian.
“I am pleased to announce my endorsement of Danny Tarkanian for the United States Senate,” said Governor Deukmejian. “Danny is both an entrepreneur and a leading voice in non-profit educational work in his community. Most importantly Danny Tarkanian is committed to building a better future for his state and to helping to shape the policies critical to America’s future, while remaining true to our core conservative values and fundamental principles of the Constitution.”
“Danny Tarkanian is poised to become the first Armenian American member of the United States Senate, and I am confident that he will work tirelessly as an advocate for the issues important to all Americans,” the former governor added.
“I am deeply grateful for Governor Deukmejian’s support,” said Danny Tarkanian. “I have always said that I want to be a public servant, rather than a politician, and Governor Deukmejian’s strong leadership as governor of California is an example I would be proud to follow.”
In turn, “Armenians for Tarkanian” welcomed the endorsement. “Governor Deukemejian’s endorsement is a powerful and warmly welcomed addition to the growing support for Danny Tarkanian’s bid for the Senate,” said Armenians for Tarkanian activist Aram Gaboudian. “Danny will bring the Armenian American community’s concerns directly to the the Senate, standing up to the politics-as-usual approach to the Armenian Genocide and the full range of Armenian American issues.”
As if Deukmejian would endorse the Democrat in the Nevada race?
By the way, I have not seen Deukmejian involved in Hye Tahd for what seems like forever. Why not?
