Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez has launched her first TV ad against her Republican challenger, Assemblyman Van Tran.
In the spot she rips Tran for taking over $136,000 in living expenses that are given, tax-free, to legislators. Tran has apparently used the money to buy a home in a gated community in Sacramento.
That Tran and the other legislators are taking all this per diem money, while also accepting cars paid for by taxpayers, is especially egregious given that our state budget is deeply in the red, and is late, and the Governor is continuing to furlough state workers.
Tran also told the Register, in a separate article, that “As a state assemblyman I have worked to make it easier for small businesses to hire, gotten rid of regulations and fee structures. … That is what I would do at the federal level.”
Tran’s only legislative accomplishment appears to be a bill that allows Vietnamese restaurant to sell rotten moon cakes. Click here to read about that.
The Register failed to note that Tran’s wife was once arrested.

Tough race, with a younger version of herself running to split the Latino vote and a Viet running who will most likely collect the lion’s share of the Viet voting block.
Looks like the election for the 47th will come down to:
Who are the white people going to vote for?
Guess Loretta doesn’t want to share the wealth……..she has done enough “milkng” herself. She is not any different than her opponents. Time to check out her real estate purchases in Orange County. YOu will be surprised to see the results.
Retired Chief Andrew Hall now, and these are my personal views and do not represent the City of Westminster or Westminster Police Department: No matter what you may think of republicans, democrats or Congressperson Sanchez, she has not bred and mentored a following of disturbing staff members to extend the reach and depth of misconduct. Simply Google-search Andy Quach or Tyler (Truong) Diep and see how pervasive their problematic behavior extends beyond Van. KEEP IN MIND, you will only learn what’s already been printed and is a matter of public record. An ongoing investigation, for example, will not be available for you to review. It is time to STOP allowing the wonderful and proud community of Little Saigon to be defined by Van Tran, Andy Quach and Tyler Diep. They bring shame on themselves, their families and their supporters.
Thank you Chief Hall for your comments! I could not agree more. Let’s hope that Phu Nguyen wins in the 68th and Sanchez beats Tran in the 47th.
