Krekorian to back Nahadeian

Councilman Paul Krekorian said Friday he will support Glendale School Board member Nayin Nahabedian to succeed him the state Assembly.
Krekorian, who took off this week as a Los Angeles City Council member, said he has work with Nahabedian on issues and believes she would be the best choice to replace him in the 43rd Assembly District.
"I think she is terrific and is exactly the person needed for the district," Krekorian said.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has yet to call a special election for the seat. It is expected to be held in April.
The primary would be an open election. If no candidate gets a majority than a runoff would be held among the leading candidates from the different political parties. Nahabedian is a Democrat.
