Rather than trying to rate thousands of candidates nationwide for 435 House, 34 Senatorial and countless local and state races, I will focus on a few critical and close ones.
It goes without saying that Armenians should help re-elect the two members of Congress who are of Armenian origin: Cong. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and John Sweeney (R-NY). Armenians should also vote for State Senator Chuck Poochigian, a Republican, who is running for Attorney General of California. He is engaged in a tough battle against former governor Jerry Brown who has an advantage in terms of name recognition. Paul Krekorian, a Democrat, is expected to easily win a seat in the California State Assembly.
Also deserving the Armenian community?s support is Danny Tarkanian, the son of legendary basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian, who is running for Secretary of State in Nevada.

Electing them simply because they are Armenian, isn't that reverse racism?
