Martin (Marty) Kludjian, JR. and John Schinkel

John Schinkel and Marty Kludjian are both dedicated to promoting a more equitable and inclusive California. Marty Kludjian is currently serving as the Chair of the City of Fremont's Human Relations Commission, where he strives to prevent discrimination and ensure that the rights of all individuals and groups in Fremont are protected under the law. John is a lifelong California resident whose passion for LGBTQ+ advocacy started following the introduction, and later passing, of 2008's California Proposition 8, the ban on same-sex marriage later deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States. Following an amazing four years of building a life together, John and Marty will be exchanging their wedding vows this December. Together, the two look forward to a humble lifetime of service to the community they both love.
