My name is Nikolai and I want to share why I am supporting Katcho Achadjian for Congress. In 2012, during the election cycle, I approached Rep. Lois Capps (D-Santa Barbara) about getting assistance for dental work I needed that would precede a heart surgery. Her office told me there is nothing that can be done. I was told her opponent had taken all the funding out when he was lieutenant governor.
I was still under the impression that nothing could be done. I went ahead and had the dental work done, but I still needed another dental procedure before I could have the heart surgery. I then contacted Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian. Within a day or two Katcho’s office called me. I was told “anything you need will be taken care of.” His office put me in contact with a care center that would do the dental work. It was all taken care of and they also worked out a way for my insurance to cover the cost. I’m voting for Katcho because he is a listening ear and a man of action. Katcho cares. He is the type of community-driven leader we need.
