"GLENDALE — The Democratic field to fill the 43rd District state Assembly seat left vacant by Paul Krekorian is growing.
Nayiri Nahabedian, a member of the Glendale Unified School District and a public policy professor at Cal State Los Angeles, confirmed her candidacy Tuesday.
“I see that I’m the only candidate who brings local government experience to Sacramento, and that’s something Sacramento really needs right now,” she said. “As a school board member, I have had to deal with repercussions of what Sacramento does, and Sacramento as it is now is not working, but local governments work well because we must and do balance our budget every year. We don’t pass the buck.”
Nahabedian joins fellow Democrats Andrew Westall and Mike Gatto, and Republican Sunder Ramani as official candidates. Speculation swirled around Krekorian’s chief of staff as a likely front-runner, but Adrin Nazarian said he will work alongside Krekorian at City Hall."
