Primary Election:

Zhirayr Gumruyan for State Assembly

District 40 · 2026

Zhirayr Gumruyan, candidate for California State Assembly District 40

Engineer. Entrepreneur. Immigrant. Ready to fight for California families.

Why Zhirayr?

Zhirayr Gumruyan came to America from Armenia with a dream and a determination to build a better life. He did not come from wealth or privilege. He came with the belief that in America, hard work and perseverance could take you anywhere.

Since arriving, Zhirayr has built multiple businesses from the ground up, creating jobs and contributing to the communities he calls home. He has lived the entrepreneurial struggle: meeting payroll, navigating regulations, and betting everything on an idea that could make a difference.

As a father and a naturalized citizen, Zhirayr understands what working families face every day in California. Rising costs, unsafe streets, and a government that too often works against the people it is supposed to serve. He is running for State Assembly because Sacramento needs leaders who have actually built something, not career politicians who have never signed the front of a paycheck.

What I'm Fighting For

Cost of Living & Housing

California families are being crushed by the highest cost of living in the nation. From skyrocketing rents to grocery bills that keep climbing, too many hardworking people are one emergency away from financial disaster. We need leaders who understand what it takes to make ends meet and who will fight to bring relief.

Public Safety & Crime

Every Californian deserves to feel safe in their home, their neighborhood, and their community. Soft-on-crime policies have emboldened criminals and left families vulnerable. Our district needs a representative who will stand with law enforcement and hold criminals accountable, not make excuses for them.

Small Business & Growth

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the heart of our communities. Yet Sacramento keeps piling on regulations, taxes, and mandates that drive entrepreneurs out of the state. As someone who has built businesses from nothing, Zhirayr knows exactly what small business owners face and will fight to let them thrive.
