Tran launches Congressional campaign… in wrong district

[ccharles000]

After years of will-he or won’t-he speculation, Assemblyman Van Tran officially launched his quest to unseat Rep. Loretta Sanchez at a press conference this afternoon at a Little Saigon office building in Westminster.

Just one thing: the office is in Congressman Dana Rohrbacher’s district, not Sanchez’s.

Ouch.

At about 10 a.m. this morning, Tran aide Dave Everett sent an email to Orange County politicos, inviting them to a 2 p.m. press conference at Tran’s Little Saigon headquarters at “9191 Bolsa Avenue, Suite #209 Westminster, California 92683.”

The press conference, of course, was to formally announce that Tran would be challenging Sanchez for her seat representing California’s 47th Congressional District. We were the first to report Tran’s official announcement yesterday.


If you run that address through the Registrar of Voter’s online district finder, you’ll see that 9191 Bolsa Ave. in Westminster is located in the 46th.
