ICYMI: The Orange County Register Endorses Congressman Derek Tran in 2026 Reelection

“Tran has earned another term.” – OC Register Editorial Board

Garden Grove, CA – Today, the OC Register endorsed Frontline Congressman Derek Tran, who is running for reelection in the most competitive must-hold House seat in Southern California.

Following an extensive interview process, the Editorial Board endorsed Tran for his proven record calling out abusive immigration enforcement practices, Congress’ unsustainable deficit spending, President Trump’s tariff policies, and the costly war in Iran, making Tran the clear choice in this race.

“It is an honor to earn the endorsement of the OC Register Editorial Board,” said Congressman Tran. “The OC Register has long been an important voice for our community. While career politicians run Washington with their bank accounts in mind, I have proudly always put Southern California families first. I am grateful for the Editorial Board’s support in my reelection, and I look forward to earning every vote this November to continue our important work ahead.”

“Re-elect Derek Tran in the 45th congressional district,” said the OC Register Editorial Board. “All things considered, Tran has earned another term, especially at a time when the Trump administration’s policies are disrupting the economy, dragging the United States into endless conflicts and wrecking the constitutional order.”
