Nancy Najarian Announces Candidacy for U.S. Congress

Candidate with Deep Armenian-American Community Ties Determined to Win Race for Virginia’s 8th Congressional District Seat

MCLEAN, Va.—Nancy Najarian—a champion for Armenian-Americans, strong communities, quality jobs, and a world-class education for every child—has announced she is running for Virginia’s 8th Congressional District, represented for the past 24 years by now retiring Rep. Jim Moran D-Va. Committed to being a voice that will stand up for our community, Najarian has launched an aggressive fundraising campaign to meet the March 31st deadline—the first quarter of fundraising for a race that most likely will be decided in a June 10, 2014 primary. Nancy is positioning herself to be a strong contender in a very crowded field by raising early money from her supporters nationwide. Those committed to sending to the U.S. Congress a professional woman with strong ties to our community are urged to donate (bit.ly/PDLxtd) to Najarian for Congress campaign by March 31, 2014.

  1. Funny, how the article never mentions directly party affiliation of a candidate for Congress. Isn’t it kind of important? Trying to trick people to vote for a Democrat because of her last name?

  2. Nicholas, it’s in there. they snuck it in at the end of the 2nd parragraph.
    Here is the line that, as an American of Armenian heritage, bothers me; “I want to bring to the U.S. Congress a steady support for issues affecting the average Armenian-American family.” No, if you get to DC, unlike most of your Dem comrades in DC, work for ALL families. Don’t pander, we understand that you like all of us are proud of our heritage.

  3. What difference does it make which party she is affiliated with.We have supported none armenian canditaes for years both with sweat and treasure , and it is high time that we support a HAY of her background who is running for Congress.

  4. Nancy, We are very proud of you, and I will never forget how you stood up to Turkish President Ozal when he visited the United States and addressed a tightly packed crowd at the Kennedy School of Government in Cambridge. After his address, which was full of half-truths and lies, you boldly and eloquently confronted his country’s blockade of Armenia during the Q & A session, and clearly rattled him, as he was not expecting any Armenian community presence at that particular event. Best Wishes and Regards as you attempt to bring that same passion and sense of fair play on behalf of ALL voters in the State of Virginia and who need that kind of a voice now more than ever! I’ve had the pleasure of living in Virginia for two important stretches of time in my life so far, and I love the thought that you would be addressing the needs and concerns of voters there!
