LOS ANGELES, CA \u2013 Early this morning, the Armenian National Committee of America \u2013 Western Region<\/a> (ANCA-WR) along with its local chapters in Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Crescenta Valley, Hollywood, San Gabriel Valley, and Sunland-Tujunga announced its endorsement Anthony Portantino for California\u2019s 25th State Senate District.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ANCA WR is proud to lend its full and complete support behind Anthony Portantino\u2019s campaign for the CA State Senate as he\u2019s been a staunch advocate of our Cause and a true friend of our community since his early days on the La Canada Flintridge City Council,\u201d stated ANCA WR Chair Nora Hovsepian. \u201cOur decision was based on Anthony\u2019s strong track record of serving the needs of our communities and productively working with the ANCA regional and local chapters for nearly 2 decades. We are confident that he will continue to build on this strong foundation when elected to the State Senate,\u201d added Hovsepian.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am humbled by the faith and trust of the ANCA WR for supporting our campaign for the State Senate. No one can win an election alone and it takes a strong network of support across a district to succeed. The ANCA-WR has an amazing network of grassroots activists and receiving their support, today continues our early positive momentum more than I could have imagined when this journey began,\u201d concluded Portantino.<\/p>\n

Portantino served in the California State Assembly from December, 2006 to December 2012 where he established himself as a passionate supporter of issues important to the Armenian-American community including education and being an independent leader who endeavored to put policy ahead of politics. He has been an outspoken champion for government reform, accountability and transparency. In his freshman Assembly year, Portantino was appointed to Chair of the Assembly Committee on Higher Education. In addition, Portantino Chaired the Revenue and Taxation Committee and the Select Committee on the Preservation of the Entertainment Industry.<\/p>\n

During his years in the State Assembly, Portantino was honored by the ANCA WR as Legislator of the Year for being a true advocate of the Armenian Cause. As Assemblymember, Portantino among many other accomplishments, co-authored the state resolutions recognizing and commemorating the Armenian Genocide in Sacramento every year he was in office, served as a model for inclusive representation, including full-time Armenian American District and Political staff, and spearheaded college outreach programs directly targeted to and for the benefit of Armenian American high school families.<\/p>\n

Prior to being elected to the State Assembly, Anthony served nearly eight years on the La Ca\u00f1ada Flintridge City Council including two years as Mayor.<\/p>\n

Currently, Anthony is a Board Member of the Armenian American Chamber of Commerce and the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee, which spearheaded the construction of an important and poignant memorial commemorating the Armenian Genocide, member of the Board of Directors for the La Ca\u00f1ada Flintridge Chamber of Commerce, a member of the California Film Commission, the Chair of the Pasadena City College Bond Oversight Committee and a member of the California Armenian American Democrats, Southern California Armenian Democrats, and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n

In addition, Anthony is beginning his third year a Visiting Fellow at the USC Unruh Institute of Politics and he is hosting a monthly public policy talk show called The Question is with Anthony Portantino on Charter Cable.<\/p>\n

Anthony was born in Long Branch, New Jersey where he attended public schools and graduated from Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania. At Albright, he met his future wife, Ellen, a business executive for Warner Brothers. Anthony and Ellen have two daughters, Sofia, a recent graduate of UCSB, and Bella Rose, who attends a public middle school. Prior to his election to the Assembly, Portantino spent many years working in film and television production. Anthony is a PTA member, Girl Scout volunteer, usher at St. Bed RC Church and an AYSO soccer referee.<\/p>\n
