Katcho Achadjian endorses Jordan Cunningham for Assembly

Templeton, CA— In his campaign to represent the residents of California’s 35th Assembly District, former Deputy District Attorney and candidate for Assembly Jordan Cunningham has received the endorsement of Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian. First elected to the seat in 2010, Achadjian will be termed out of office in 2016.

Born in Lebanon, Achadjian immigrated to the Central Coast over 40 years ago in search of an education and an opportunity to achieve the American Dream. He is a true American success story: a small business owner, three-term County Supervisor and Assemblyman, 1984 Arroyo Grande “Citizen of the Year”, and board member for numerous non-profits. As an Assemblyman, Achadjian has championed job creation and education, while providing a voice for taxpayers, working-class families and local industries such as agriculture.

“I’ve been honored to serve the Central Coast during my years in the Assembly, and have been proud to provide a voice for this great region and its residents,” said Achadjian. “Jordan has the experience and character to make the right choices for our communities. I trust that he will focus on the issues that matter most to us, and help build on the success that we have been able to achieve during my time in office.”

A Central Coast native, Cunningham has dedicated both his life and career to a region that he is proud to call home. As founding partner of the Cunningham Law Group, he represents the interests of individuals, families and local businesses. Jordan previously served as a Deputy District Attorney for San Luis Obispo County, prosecuting a wide variety of crimes, including fraud, assault, domestic violence, and environmental crimes.

In addition to his professional pursuits, Jordan has dedicated countless hours to our communities. As acting President of the Central Coast Taxpayers Association, he leads a group dedicated to taxpayer education and fiscal responsibility. As an elected Trustee of the Templeton Unified School Board, he looks for ways to strengthen partnerships between local businesses and young adults. As a husband and father of 4, his top priority is creating opportunities for the region’s youth.

Jordan Cunningham is running for California State Assembly District 35, a district that encompasses San Luis Obispo County and a portion of Santa Barbara County. He is the only candidate who has formally announced a campaign to replace Katcho Achadjian, who was re-elected in both 2012 and 2014 with over 60% of the vote.
