California’s Armenian American community has long played an important role in shaping the civic, cultural, and economic life of our state. That is why we are honored to receive the endorsement of Asbarez, one of the nation’s most respected Armenian American news publications.
In a recent editorial, Asbarez endorsed Fiona Ma for Lieutenant Governor, citing her decades of public service, proven leadership, and longstanding commitment to California’s diverse communities. The publication highlighted Fiona’s record of accomplishment and her readiness to serve in one of the state’s most important constitutional offices.
The editorial noted that the Lieutenant Governor’s office requires someone with the experience to govern, oversee higher education, support economic development, and help lead California through increasingly complex challenges. As State Treasurer, Fiona has managed hundreds of billions of dollars in state investments and financing programs while helping maintain California’s strong fiscal standing through periods of economic uncertainty.
Asbarez also recognized Fiona’s long record of engagement with Armenian American communities throughout California. From supporting small businesses and local economic development to standing alongside community organizations and leaders, Fiona has worked to ensure that Armenian voices are represented and respected in state government.
Throughout her career, Fiona has built a reputation as a leader who brings people together, listens to communities, and focuses on delivering results. That approach has earned her support from a broad coalition that includes labor organizations, educators, public safety professionals, local elected officials, business leaders, and community advocates across California.
The endorsement from Asbarez reflects a growing recognition that experience matters. California faces significant challenges related to affordability, housing, education, economic opportunity, and protecting communities from federal uncertainty. Meeting those challenges requires leadership that is tested, prepared, and ready on day one.
Fiona is deeply grateful for the confidence placed in her by Asbarez and the Armenian American community.
As Californians continue casting their ballots, this endorsement serves as another reminder that Fiona Ma brings the experience, qualifications, and proven record necessary to serve as California’s next Lieutenant Governor.
We encourage everyone to read the full Asbarez endorsement and learn more about why they believe Fiona Ma has earned our community’s vote for Lieutenant Governor.
Election Day is June 2. If you have not already voted, be sure to return your ballot early or use an official ballot drop box in your community.
