CA-45: Derek Tran (D)
Derek Tran is an Army Veteran, consumer rights attorney, city commissioner, and small business owner who is running for Congress to fight for Californians, not corporations in Congress.
At the age of 18, Tran enlisted in the Army to give back to the country that had given him and his family so much. After his time in the military, he went to law school. Turning down high paying jobs in corporate law, Tran chose to open up his small business in Orange County and fight for immigrants, workers, survivors of sexual harassment, and consumers.
Tran was asked to serve on the Orange Traffic Commission to help address long range transportation and highway planning. In Congress, he will fight to bring infrastructure dollars back to Southern California in order to create clean energy jobs.
Tran and his wife Michelle are parents of three. Their children attend public schools and every day they work to instill the values of hard work, patriotism, and service that Tran’s parents taught him.
Tran sits on the board of Consumers of Attorneys of California and mentors at-risk youth at Sunburst Academy, which is located at Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos where he served.
