Derek Tran Wins Historic Reelection Campaign in California’s 45th Congressional District

Garden Grove, CA – Tonight, Frontline Member and Democratic nominee Derek Tran declared victory in California’s 45th Congressional District. Tran released the following statement:

“I am humbled that our community has placed their trust in me again to represent them. This win belongs to all of us: to those who knocked on a door, made a call, and believed in what we could accomplish together, and to the families who believed that the promise of the American Dream should be a reality for all.

“Fifty-one years ago, my parents fled Vietnam as democracy crumbled. They immigrated to the U.S. and found themselves here, in Southern California. Today, their son represents the largest Vietnamese diaspora in Congress. That is the legacy I carry with me. And tonight, our community has given me the honor of carrying it forward.

“I do not take this responsibility lightly. Congress must be focused on lowering costs, protecting affordable healthcare, and rooting out corruption from this Administration. There’s more to do, and now, we’re going to build on what we’ve done. Let’s get back to work.”

CA-45 is one of the most competitive House seats in the country, critical to securing a Democratic House majority.
