"My parents were refugees who worked hard and sacrificed so that I could realize the American Dream. I joined the Army to give back to the Country that has given me so much, and I’m running for Congress to put people ahead of politics, protect our democracy, and ensure everyone, no matter what neighborhood they come from has the opportunity to succeed without fear of their freedoms being taken away."

DEREK TRAN ON THE ISSUES
DEREK TRAN ON THE ISSUES
CHOICE
CHOICE
- Following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Derek has fought to defend women’s health and rights in Congress. As the father of a young daughter, Derek is 100% pro-choice and has stood strong to protect funding for Planned Parenthood and access to critical women’s health services like birth control and cancer screenings.
EDUCATION
EDUCATION
- Derek believes education is the key to unlocking opportunity and a brighter future. The father of three young children in public schools and a youth mentor for kids in need, Derek has fought to ensure every child has a quality education by working to raise wages for teachers, investing in community public schools, supporting programs like early childhood education that give students more opportunities to succeed, and providing more vocational education and job training.
HEALTHCARE
HEALTHCARE
- Derek believes healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. As the owner of a local pharmacy, Derek and his wife have helped their community access lifesaving medicine, and he understands the challenges families face in affording care. He’s taken on the big insurance and pharmaceutical companies to rein in the high cost of healthcare and prescription drugs and stood up to Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans’ efforts to cut Medicaid. Derek will continue to defend Medicare so everyone has access to quality, affordable health care.
TRUMP & MAGA
TRUMP & MAGA
- With our democracy under threat from Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, Derek has fought to defend our rights and values. He will fight back against the extremists who want to cut Social Security and Medicare, discriminate against LGBTQ+, immigrant, and minority communities, and take away a woman’s right to choose. And Derek will work to strengthen voting rights for every American and defend our free and fair elections from Trump and MAGA Republicans who want to overturn our democracy.
SPECIAL INTERESTS & CORRUPTION
SPECIAL INTERESTS & CORRUPTION
- While families are getting squeezed by rising prices, Washington insiders like Michelle Steel are continuing to give tax breaks to their corporate donors and special interests. Derek will fight to end this culture of corruption in our politics. He supports efforts to limit the influence and power of lobbyists and special interests, and supports strong campaign finance reforms and more transparency to stop corporations from buying elections.
ECONOMY
ECONOMY
- Derek is committed to standing with workers. As a workers’ rights attorney, Derek protected workers by going after corporations that put their profits over the fair treatment of immigrants, survivors of sexual harassment, and victims of workplace discrimination. Derek is fighting to make the minimum wage a living wage so families can keep up with rising costs, advocate for safer working conditions, and ensure that all workers can afford housing and look forward to a secure retirement.
GUNS
GUNS
- Derek is committed to keeping our communities safe. With three young children, Derek finds himself constantly worried about the threat of gun violence. He has taken on the NRA by fighting for common-sense gun safety laws like universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons. He’s worked to put more police on the streets to crack down on rising crime and put dangerous criminals in prison. And Derek has fought for more investments in violence prevention and rehabilitation programs to address the root causes of crime.
STANDING UP TO CHINA
STANDING UP TO CHINA
- Derek’s family fled a murderous communist regime in Vietnam. He knows firsthand the devastating impact of totalitarian governments and is committed to standing firm against Chinese Communist rule. In Congress, he has advocated for policies that promote democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression. He has supported measures to counter Chinese aggression and expansionism, while also engaging in strategic diplomacy to protect American interests and strengthen alliances with our allies. Derek has championed initiatives that bolster economic competitiveness, reduce reliance on Chinese supply chains, and safeguard against unfair trade practices. By confronting the challenges posed by communism and China head-on, Derek believes that America can uphold the values of liberty and democracy that his parents sought when they came to this country, and ensure a brighter future for generations.
SMALL BUSINESS
SMALL BUSINESS
- Derek believes small businesses are the backbone of our economy. As the owner of a local pharmacy in Orange County that provides low-cost medicine to his community, he understands the struggles many face today. That’s why Derek is working to cut taxes for middle-class families and small businesses and bring back more good-paying jobs in clean energy and advanced manufacturing to ensure we make things here in America and keep our shelves stocked.
Technology Economy and Blockchain
Technology Economy and Blockchain
- Derek Tran believes the United States should lead in developing new technologies. Blockchain addresses a crucial issue in both digital and physical economies: trust. Its immutable public ledger has proven valuable in diverse areas, from global shipping to innovative financial systems. Establishing clear regulations for this technology will foster growth, safeguard consumers, and enhance national security.
