EGP reported that Hadjinian entered history as the first American Armenian to become the mayor of Montebello after being elected by other members of the council in November.
“This is a special feeling, I am proud that I am Armenian, but I represent everyone,” said the new mayor, adding that he would focus on developing the economy and ensuring safety and cleanliness in the city while maintaining city services.
Jack Hadjinian officially took office as mayor of the American city of Montebello on November 25, 2015, becoming the first American of Armenian descent in this position.
