What Leaders Are Saying
“The Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs is proud to endorse US Army Veteran and small business owner Derek Tran for Congress. Derek’s military background gives him a deep appreciation for the sacrifices our officers make daily. In Congress, he has championed community policing, brought funding back to the district to improve mental health services, and worked to ensure our peace officers have the necessary resources they need to serve our communities.”
“Derek Tran has been a champion for our public safety officers, bringing back the resources they need to keep the peace. An Army veteran himself, he has sworn the oath to protect and defend the US Constitution and keep our communities safe, and that is what he has done in Congress. The Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs is proud to endorse Derek Tran.”
“Derek Tran stands out as a leader who truly understands the needs of first responders. His service in the U.S. Army and his commitment as a city commissioner have shown his dedication to public safety and community service. As a small business owner, he knows firsthand the importance of local support and infrastructure, crucial for emergency responses. The IAFF is proud to endorse Derek Tran for Congress, confident in his ability to advocate for the resources and support fire fighters need to keep our communities safe.”
“The California Federation of Labor Unions, AFL-CIO is proud to endorse Rep. Derek Tran. There are over 55,000 union members in CA-45. As a workers' rights attorney, Derek knows what it means to fight on behalf of working Americans. He has stood alongside us on the picket line, and supported Labor in the halls of Congress, advocating for strong wages, safe working conditions, comprehensive benefits, and an economy that works for everyone, not just the few.”
“The Western States Regional Council of Carpenters is proud to support Derek Tran. We are united in the fight to raise standards for working families by protecting good-paying jobs, strong wages, and quality benefits. Derek has built his career standing up for workers when it matters most, and in Congress, he will fight to deliver results that strengthen our workforce and our economy.”
“Planned Parenthood Action Fund is proud to endorse Derek Tran for Congress. Derek understands that reproductive freedom is a human right and has worked tirelessly to protect reproductive rights against threats from anti-abortion politicians in Congress. While this administration continues to attack sexual and reproductive health care, Congressman Tran's record in Congress shows his commitment to stand up for patients and providers and defend access to critical services. Derek will work to ensure every person can make their own health care decisions, free from political interference.”
