The Republican Parties of Wisconsin, California, and Arizona have voted unanimously to rename "Cesar Chavez Day" as “Paul Krekorian Day.” The resolutions passed during the three states’ respective conventions cited Krekorian’s tireless work on behalf of Republican causes.
“We thought it was particularly heroic when Paul Krekorian attacked public employee unions in several mail pieces in 2009,“ said Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Dirk Hammersvold. “Krekorian predated our attacks on unions by two full years! He just ought to have a day in his honor.”
The Chair of the California Republican Party, Jane Burnednut, was not about to be outdone by her Wisconsin counterpart in praising Krekorian. “Paul Krekorian regularly appeared in cable ads for Republican candidates running against Democrats. We feel he should have a holiday named after him.”
The Arizona Republican Party Chairman could not be reached for comment, but the ARP office directed us to the text of the resolution, which cited, among other things, Krekorian’s “open dislike of the Latino Caucus” and his “utter lack of diversity on his staff” as their main reasons for signing on.
When asked how he felt about the tremendous honor, Krekorian was characteristically humble. “You know, LA City Council is a nonpartisan office,” Krekorian stated. “I’m kinda like VISA. I’ll be anything you want me to be.”
