PARENT, COMMUNITY LEADER, AND BUSINESS OWNER SAM KBUSHYAN<br />
ENTERS RACE TO REPRESENT LOS ANGELES COUNCIL DISTRICT 2<br />
Local Non-Profit Board Member and State Commissioner launches campaign with support from over 200 individual campaign<br />
contributors.<br />
North Hollywood, CA – Today, business owner and California State Commissioner Sam Kbushyan announced his campaign for Los<br />
Angeles City Council to replace Council President Paul Krekorian, who cannot seek another term due to term limits. Sam begins the<br />
campaign having raised $150,000.00 from 230 small business owners and neighborhood leaders.<br />
Sam started his career organizing In Home Supportive Services employees who are represented by SEIU Local 2015. Sam now owns<br />
and operates SKG which helps small businesses and nonprofits navigate government bureaucracy to deliver services to those in need.<br />
He currently serves on the boards of LA Community Alliance and the Immigrants Charitable Foundation. Sam and his wife Suzanna<br />
are raising their three children together in North Hollywood.<br />
Kbushyan, who recently served on Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s advisory transition team released the following statement:<br />
As a small business owner, a husband and father of three schoolchildren, and a lifelong community organizer, I am running for City<br />
Council to fight for the residents, business owners, and all stakeholders of LA’s District 2. For years, career politicians who are part of<br />
the establishment machine made promises at every election only to ignore the community. So, our challenges have gotten worse.<br />
It’s said that if nothing changes, nothing changes. District 2 needs a grassroots person representing the people and values of our<br />
district’s diverse neighborhoods. Politics are usual, and establishment politicians who want to represent the district in the interim in<br />
their long-term political ambitions have failed us. Unlike them, I’m not here to cater to the elite donors and special interests. I fight<br />
for our neighborhoods, homeowners, renters, and business owners. My focus is to restore trust in our government and hold City Hall<br />
accountable.”<br />
Council District 2 includes the Los Angeles neighborhoods of North Hollywood, Studio City, Sun Valley, Toluca Lake, Valley Glen, Valley<br />
Village, and Van Nuys.<br />
