Assemblyman Van Tran, R-Westminster, today is ending growing speculation in Washington, D.C. and Orange County, and has opened a campaign committee to challenge Rep. Loretta Sanchez, R-Garden Grove, in next year’s election.
Democrats have a 12.4 percentage point advantage in the central county district, but Arnold Schwarzenegger won there in 2006 and George W. Bush won there in 2004. Tran was recruited heavily by GOP leaders in Washington.
“It will be one of the most watched congressional races in the country, and both sides will be pouring resources into this,” Tran told me a few minutes ago.
