SACRAMENTO – As a member of the California Armenian Legislative Caucus, I am grateful and proud that for the first time in our nation’s history, the United States has formally recognized the Armenian Genocide on its 106th anniversary.

In the California State Senate, I co-introduced Senate Resolution 29 alongside Senators Atkins, Portantino, Wilk, Borgeas, Dahle, Durazo and Hertzberg to properly acknowledge the experiences of Armenians during this historical atrocity.

I’m asking the people of the 32nd Senate District to help their neighbors by donating blood. Even as we endure through this pandemic, blood is still needed for a number of life-saving medical treatments, including for those with COVID-19.
