Voting for John Armenian, who is running for election to the U.S. House to represent  California's 30th Congressional District.

John Armenian is running for election to the U.S. House to represent California's 30th Congressional District. He is on the ballot in the primary on June 2, 2026. He is running as a centrist and not as a party affiliate.

There are six other candidates on the ballot. Four of whom are running as Democrats, and two are running as Republicans The favored candidate appears to be the incumbent, Laura Friedman (D). John Armenian is the only candidate who is running as a centrist. The general election will take place on November 3, 2026. Two candidates who attained the highest votes during the June 2 primary, will be running in the general election. It is expected that it will be Laura Friedman and another.

John Armenian whom his classmates and close friends, know by his endearing name Ohan, studied physics at the American University of Beirut. After receiving his undergraduate degree in physics, he did graduate work at Tufts University in Boston. Not long after graduation, he moved to California where he was first employed in aerospace engineering. He later established his own very successful aerospace consulting firm. 

In his congressional election campaign brochure John wrote: “For 40 years, I solved complex problems for America's national defense—developing cutting-edge aerospace technologies, holding top-secret DoD clearances, founded my own R&D firm, and earned NASA recognition for contributions to the Hubble Space Telescope. I didn't build aerospace systems by picking political sides. I built them with data, logic, and rigorous problem-solving.”

John Armenian is a true centrist. In this heightened polarization of American politics, he represents an independent fresh air, who will strive to solve issues on their own merits. John Armenian is financing his campaign. In an interview he clarified that the is not running against the incumbent Laura Friedman or any other candidate for their party affiliation, he is running to bring his experience and knowhow to solve problems. NASA has recognized his special problem-solving capabilities.

When it comes to Armenia, he will continue to support that government the citizens of Armenia will elect on June 7, 2026.  

I urge all those who happen to read this blog, and live in his electoral district, to consider casting their votes in his favor. True to his spirited Independence to be his own person, in work as well – he founded his own aerospace consulting firm -  John Armenian has not sought the endorsement of any Armenian organization be it ANCA or Armenian National Assembly.

I urge all those who happen to read my blog and live in his electoral district, to vote for him. It is indeed rare to come across a true centrist person who will work for the people, not a party; and for common-sense solutions and not politics.
