<h4>Derek Tran is an Army Veteran, workers ’ rights advocate, small business owner, and Representative for California’s 45th Congressional District.</h4><span class="image image-framed image-right image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/75a7f42e-5a62-43ce-a7fd-85291defc373/aa2819e1-8985-450a-a1c2-2f25fcacd402/aa2819e1-8985-450a-a1c2-2f25fcacd402.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C959%2C1349&amp;w=1500" alt="Derek Tran in his U.S. Army uniform" title="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none"></span></span><p><strong>Derek is the son of refugees. </strong>His parents fled the Communist regime in Vietnam so that their children could realize the American Dream in Southern California. Through hard work and sacrifice, Derek’s family opened a corner market where Derek worked every day after school.<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>At 18, Derek enlisted in the Army to give back to the country that had given him and his family so much. <strong>In the military, it didn’t matter if you were a Democrat or a Republican - you worked together to get the job done, and that’s the commonsense, bipartisan approach Derek has brought to Congress.</strong></p><p>After his time in the military, Derek went to law school to uphold the liberties, individual rights, and rule of law that his parents immigrated to America for. Turning down high-paying jobs in corporate law, Derek chose to open his small business in Orange County and fight for immigrants, workers, survivors of sexual harassment, and consumers.</p><p><strong>At a time when corporations are raking in record profits and customers are paying more for basic goods and services, Derek holds bad actors accountable, ensuring that individuals, not special interests, get the justice they deserve.</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>Derek has proven himself to be a strong advocate for the 45th district, introducing legislation that would protect veterans’ jobs and require Veterans impacted by President Trump’s massive federal layoffs to be reinstated. <strong>Derek is standing up to Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans' efforts to cut Medicaid and Medicare to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Derek is married to his amazing wife Michelle, a pharmacist who grew up in Garden Grove. Together, they run a brick-and-mortar pharmacy right here in Orange County. During the pandemic, they helped local businesses and restaurants keep their doors open and their employees safe through vaccinations and COVID-19 testing. <strong>Thanks to Michelle and Derek, countless community members were able to work, see family, and stay healthy.</strong></p><p>Every day, Derek and Michelle see firsthand the challenges Orange County families face with skyrocketing drug prices and the difficult decisions some have to make when paying for insulin or groceries. <strong>In Congress, Derek has fought to reduce the costs of prescription drugs, protect a woman’s right to choose, and expand coverage, because healthcare is a right, not a privilege.</strong></p><p>Derek and Michelle are proud parents of three. Their children attend public schools, and every day Derek works to instill the values of hard work, patriotism, and service that his parents taught him.</p><p>Derek is a former board member of Consumer Attorneys of California and mentors at-risk youth at Sunburst Academy, which is located at Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos, where Derek served.</p>

<h2>DEREK TRAN ON THE ISSUES</h2>

<p>With the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe vs. Wade, <strong>Derek will defend women’s health and women’s rights in Congress.</strong> As the father of a young daughter, Derek is 100% pro-choice and will stand strong to protect funding for Planned Parenthood and access to critical women’s health services like birth control and cancer screenings.</p>

<h5>CHOICE</h5>

<p><strong>Derek believes education is the key to unlocking opportunity and a brighter future. </strong>The father of three young children in public schools and a youth mentor for kids in need, Derek will fight 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.</p>

<h5>EDUCATION</h5>

<p><strong>Derek believes healthcare should be a right, not a privilege.</strong> The owner of a local pharmacy along with his wife, Derek has helped people in his community get access to lifesaving medicine and understands the challenges people are facing trying to afford care for their families. He’ll take on the big insurance and pharmaceutical companies to rein in the high cost of healthcare and prescription drugs and expand Medicare so that everyone has access to quality, affordable health care.</p>

<h5>HEALTHCARE</h5>

<p><strong>With our democracy under threat from Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, Derek will defend our rights and values.</strong> He will fight back against 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&nbsp;Republicans who want to overturn our democracy.</p>

<h5>TRUMP &amp; MAGA</h5>

<p>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. <strong>Derek will fight to end this culture of corruption in our politics.</strong> He supports efforts to limit the influence and power of lobbyists, refuses to take donations from corporate PACs and other special interests, and supports strong campaign finance reforms and more transparency to stop corporations from buying elections.</p>

<h5>SPECIAL INTERESTS &amp; CORRUPTION</h5>

<p><strong>Derek is committed to standing with workers. </strong>As a workers’ rights attorney, Derek protected workers by going after corporations who put their profits over the fair treatment of immigrants, survivors of sexual harassment, and victims of workplace discrimination. Derek will fight to make the minimum wage a living wage so families can keep up with rising costs, advocate for safer working conditions and ensure all workers can secure affordable housing for their families and a secure retirement.</p>

<h5>ECONOMY</h5>

<p><strong>Derek is committed to keeping our communities safe.</strong> As the father of three young children, gun violence is sadly on the top of his mind almost daily. He will take on the NRA by fighting for common sense gun safety laws like universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons. He’ll work to put more police on the streets to crack down on rising crime and put dangerous criminals in prison. And Derek will fight for more investments in violence prevention and rehabilitation programs to address the root causes of crime.</p>

<h5>GUNS</h5>

<p>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 will advocate for policies that promote democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression. He will support measures to counter Chinese aggression and expansionism, while also engaging in strategic diplomacy to protect American interests and strengthen alliances with our allies. <strong>Derek will champion initiatives that bolster economic competitiveness, reduce reliance on Chinese supply chains, and safeguard against unfair trade practices.</strong> 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 to come.</p>

<h5>STANDING UP TO CHINA</h5>

<p><strong>Derek believes small businesses are the backbone of our economy.</strong> As the owner of a local pharmacy in Orange County that provides low-cost medicine to his community, he understands the struggles that many are facing today. That’s why Derek will work 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.</p>

<h2><strong>Influencia de Kamala en el condado de Orange</strong></h2><p>¿Cómo afecta el ascenso de <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> a los demócratas que se postulan para el Congreso en su estado natal de California? <strong>Derek Tran</strong> es la opción clara en el Condado de Orange.&nbsp;</p><p>El esfuerzo de Tran por desbancar a la representante republicana Michelle Steel era visto por los demócratas como competitivo, aunque algo ambicioso. Sin embargo, no olvidemos que Steel logró desbancar a un demócrata en 2020 y había derrotado a un rival en 2022.&nbsp;</p><p>Luego Joe Biden se bajó de su candidatura.&nbsp;</p><p>Los votantes, especialmente los menores de 30 años, inundaban las líneas telefónicas de las oficinas con preguntas sobre si podían ofrecerse como voluntarios y cómo conseguir carteles para el jardín. Donantes con los que nunca había hablado antes de repente volvieron a llamar a Tran, ansiosos por hacer una donación.&nbsp;</p><p>“Vimos un gran aumento en la recaudación de fondos”, dijo Tran en una entrevista con POLITICO. “El impulso y la energía eran increíbles, y la gente hablaba de esta elección de nuevo como si estuviéramos en 2008”.&nbsp;</p><p>Y ahora nuevos datos —de una de las primeras encuestas de la Cámara de Representantes hecha pública desde que Harris asumió el liderazgo de la lista— indican un empate con la actual representante. Tran y Steel están empatados con un 47% cada uno, <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000191-590c-d687-a3db-fd9f45390000" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">según una encuesta del Comité de Campaña Demócrata del Congreso</a> compartida exclusivamente con POLITICO.</p>

Trải qua nhiều công việc làm và hy sinh, gia đình của Derek mở được một cửa tiệm kinh doanh là nơi mà Derek đến giúp việc mỗi ngày sau giờ học.</p><p>Năm 18 tuổi, Derek nhập ngũ tham chiến ở Iraq, để phụng sự đất nước đã cho anh và gia đình quá nhiều cơ hội. <strong>Với tinh thần trong quân đội, bất kể là đảng Dân Chủ hay Cộng Hòa, cá nhân mỗi người và đồng đội phải cùng nhau hợp tác để đạt được kết quả, và Derek sẽ mang tư duy này vào Quốc Hội.</strong></p><p>Sau thời gian phục vụ quân đội, Derek đã vào trường luật để gìn giữ quyền tự do, quyền của cá nhân, tôn vinh hệ thống pháp luật mà cha mẹ của anh vì điều này đã di cư đến Hoa Kỳ. Derek đã từ chối làm việc với mức lương cao tại các doanh nghiệp lớn, anh chọn cách tự khởi nghiệp ở Quận Orange và đấu tranh cho những người di dân, người lao động, nạn nhân của những vụ quấy rối tình dục, và đấu tranh cho người tiêu dùng.</p><p><strong>Khi các doanh nghiệp kiếm được nguồn lợi nhuận lớn với con số kỷ lục và người tiêu dùng phải chi trả quá nhiều cho những dịch vụ và hàng hóa cơ bản, Derek gánh vác vai trò như là diễn viên đóng vai phản diện, để đảm bảo rằng các cá nhân người tiêu dùng có được công lý mà họ xứng đáng được nhận, chứ không phải các nhóm nhỏ được hưởng lợi ích đặc biệt.</strong></p><p>Khi miền Nam California đối mặt với một số thách thức lớn nhất trong toàn quốc về cơ sở hạ tầng và môi trường, chất lượng không khí kém và tình trạng đường xá tồi tệ, lượng xe tải xuyên bang quá nhiều trong mọi lúc, Derek đã được kêu gọi phục vụ trong Ủy Ban Giao Thông của Orange để giúp giải quyết việc vận chuyển đường dài và lập kế hoạch cho xa lộ. <strong>Nếu làm việc ở Quốc Hội, Derek sẽ đấu tranh để mang ngân quỹ cho cơ sở hạ tầng về Miền Nam California để tạo ra nhiều việc làm cho ngành năng lượng sạch.</strong> Với ngân quỹ đó, việc đầu tư vào giao thông công cộng, và tạo ra việc làm sẽ tác động trực tiếp vào việc biến đổi khí hậu và giúp cho các gia đình tiết kiệm thời gian bị tắc nghẽn trong giao thông.</p><p>Derek lập gia đình với người vợ tuyệt vời của anh là cô Michelle, một dược sĩ trưởng thành ở Garden Grove. Cùng nhau, họ mở một nhà thuốc ở ngay tại đây trong Quận Orange. Trong thời gian đại dịch, họ đã giúp rất nhiều nhà hàng và doanh nghiệp địa phương bằng cách duy trì hoạt động và giữ an toàn cho nhân viên của họ thông qua chích ngừa và xét nghiệm Covid-19. <strong>Nhờ có Michelle và Derek, rất nhiều người trong cộng đồng có thể tiếp tục làm việc, bảo vệ gia đình của họ và duy trì sức khỏe.</strong></p><p>Mỗi ngày, Derek và Michelle tận mắt chứng kiến những thách thức mà các gia đình ở Quận Orange phải đối mặt là giá thuốc tăng vọt và những quyết định khó khăn mà nhiều người phải đưa ra khi cân nhắc trả tiền insulin hoặc tiền chợ. Nếu vào Quốc Hội, Derek sẽ làm việc để giảm chi phí thuốc theo toa, bảo vệ quyền chọn lựa của phụ nữ, mở rộng phạm vi bao trả của bảo hiểm sức khỏe, bởi vì chăm sóc sức khỏe là quyền của người dân, không phải đặc quyền.</p><p>Derek và Michelle là cha mẹ luôn tự hào về ba người con của mình. Con của họ theo học ở các trường công và Derek luôn truyền đạt ý nghĩa về giá trị làm việc siêng năng, lòng yêu nước, và tinh thần phục vụ mà cha mẹ của anh đã dạy.</p><p>Derek tham gia hội đồng Luật Sư Đoàn cho Người Tiêu Dùng của California và huấn luyện cho các thanh thiếu niên đối mặt với thách thức và rủi ro của Học Viện Sunburst, là cơ sở giáo dục tọa lạc ở Khu Hợp Tác Huấn Luyện Đào Tạo Los Alamitos là nơi mà Derek đã phục vụ.</p>

<h5>October 11, 2024</h5><p>The continued violence in the Middle East and recent escalations have brought the region to the precipice of a broader conflict that must be avoided at all costs. The war has already claimed too many innocent lives, especially those of children, on all sides. The horrific images of destruction in Gaza and the suffering of the Palestinian people can not be ignored or written off as the unfortunate collateral damage of war. Neither can we ignore the plight of the hostages, including Americans, who were taken from their families over a year ago and continue to be deprived of their fundamental rights.&nbsp;</p><p>During this campaign, I have met with loved ones of individuals who have lost their lives, been taken hostage, injured, or displaced due to the war. They are our neighbors; their pain is heavy, and their stories are heartbreaking. While there are no words to ease their agony, I offer my condolences and support and commit to them that I will not rest until we can end suffering.&nbsp;</p><p>I fully support diplomatic efforts to recommence talks and come to a negotiated ceasefire deal that ends the fighting and brings the hostages home. Israelis, Palestinians, and all those in the region cannot wait longer. In Congress, I will continue to push for this peace process, a ceasefire, and an eventual two-state solution where Israeli and Palestinian children can thrive side-by-side.&nbsp;</p><p>As a veteran, the United States Army instilled in me the utmost respect for the Law of Armed Conflict, and as a lawyer, I am sworn to uphold the rule of law. It is essential that while the fighting continues, all sides abide by these principles and take every measure possible to avoid civilian casualties.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Finally, this conflict has led to an inexcusable rise in Islamophobia, antisemitism, and hate in this country. It is on all of us to denounce hate in all its forms and treat our neighbors with the decency and compassion this moment calls for.</p>

Sin embargo, no olvidemos que Steel logró desbancar a un demócrata en 2020 y había derrotado a un rival en 2022.&nbsp;</p><p>Luego Joe Biden se bajó de su candidatura.&nbsp;</p><p>Los votantes, especialmente los menores de 30 años, inundaban las líneas telefónicas de las oficinas con preguntas sobre si podían ofrecerse como voluntarios y cómo conseguir carteles para el jardín. Donantes con los que nunca había hablado antes de repente volvieron a llamar a Tran, ansiosos por hacer una donación.&nbsp;</p><p>“Vimos un gran aumento en la recaudación de fondos”, dijo Tran en una entrevista con POLITICO. “El impulso y la energía eran increíbles, y la gente hablaba de esta elección de nuevo como si estuviéramos en 2008”.&nbsp;</p><p>Y ahora nuevos datos —de una de las primeras encuestas de la Cámara de Representantes hecha pública desde que Harris asumió el liderazgo de la lista— indican un empate con la actual representante. Tran y Steel están empatados con un 47% cada uno, <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000191-590c-d687-a3db-fd9f45390000" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">según una encuesta del Comité de Campaña Demócrata del Congreso </a>compartida exclusivamente con POLITICO.&nbsp;</p><p>Tran, abogado y veterano del ejército, ya había superado en recaudación a la actual representante en el último trimestre, con una impresionante suma de $1.3 millones. Como hijo de refugiados vietnamitas, ha logrado ser una especie de celebridad en un distrito que tiene la mayor población vietnamita fuera del propio Vietnam.&nbsp;</p><p>Los demócratas de repente se sienten mucho más optimistas con respecto a sus posibilidades de ganar el escaño.&nbsp;</p><p>Steel es uno de los 16 miembros del Partido Republicano en los distritos que Biden ganó en 2020. Normalmente, eso la colocaría en el tope de la lista de representantes vulnerables. Pero Biden era tan poco popular que <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/california-playbook-pm/2024/06/26/what-democrats-do-and-dont-want-to-publicize-about-an-oc-house-race-poll-00165207" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">incluso las propias encuestas de Tran de finales de mayo mostraban que el presidente perdía por 6 puntos </a>en un distrito en el que había ganado por 6 puntos en 2020.&nbsp;</p><p>Pero <a href="https://x.com/JacobRubashkin/status/1798768809647722988" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">esa encuesta</a> también mostró que Tran estaba solo 1 punto detrás de Steel. Otra encuesta demócrata de mediados de julio, antes de que Biden se retirara, mostraba que Tran estaba por delante de Steel por un 43 a 42 %, según una persona familiarizada con el sondeo. Fue encargada por el House Majority PAC, un grupo con estrechos vínculos con el liderazgo demócrata de la Cámara. Eso significa que Tran, al igual que otros demócratas, seguía&nbsp;superando a Biden; la cuestión era si las cifras de Biden caerían lo suficiente como para arrastrarlos a ellos también.&nbsp;</p><p>El portavoz de la campaña de Steel, Lance Trover, refutó que Tran estuviera a la cabeza y dijo que las encuestas internas del Partido Republicano mostraban a Steel liderando la contienda. “Derek Tran y el DCCC mintieron sobre su última encuesta y vuelven a mentir”, dijo.&nbsp;</p><p>Ahora, mientras Harris lidera las encuestas en todo el país, los candidatos demócratas al Congreso dicen que ven que sus candidaturas adquieren nueva vida. Y la campaña de Tran va subiendo en la lista de prioridades: A medida que Harris reduce la ventaja de Donald Trump sobre Biden, el mapa de la contienda electoral también está cambiando.&nbsp;</p><p>Una señal de que los demócratas les importan esta campaña: House Majority Forward, un grupo sin fines de lucro alineado con House Majority PAC, ha destinado $1 millón a anuncios contra Steel este mes en el mercado mediático de Los Ángeles.&nbsp;</p><p>“Este es un distrito +6 a favor de Biden”, dijo Tran. “Y si la energía se mantiene como ahora en las últimas semanas, creo que ella va a ganar el distrito con los mismos números, o incluso mejores que los del Presidente Biden”.&nbsp;</p><p>Lea la historia <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/california-playbook/2024/08/16/kamalas-orange-county-ripple-00174330" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">AQUÍ.</a></p><p>###</p><p><em>El uso del rango militar, los cargos laborales y las fotografías de Derek Tran en uniforme no implica el respaldo del Departamento de Defensa o del Ejército de Estados Unidos.</em></p><p></p>
