The Armenian National Committee of New Jersey, the grassroots voice of over 50,000 Garden State Armenian families, has endorsed the candidacy of Senator Bob Menendez, reports ANCA. "Bob Menendez, a true champion for Armenian Americans in New Jersey and across the country, is our clear choice for US Senate," said ANC-NJ Chairwoman Ani Tchaghlasian. "We value Bob Menendez's principled leadership on Armenian issues - most notably his firm stand against the Hoagland nomination - and will encourage all Armenians - Democrats, Republicans and independents - to go to the polls in support of his candidacy on November 7th," she said.
