Housing costs are reaching a breaking point across the country. My family relied on housing assistance, and I’m introducing legislation to ensure more renters can afford to keep a roof over their head.

Yes, Mr. President, you are doing a shitty job. Prices are up everywhere because of your Administration.

After college, I relied on tips to survive as a restaurant server. Republicans’ “No Tax on Tips” provision is NOT permanent and NOT expansive enough. I’m fighting to ensure permanent tax relief for tipped workers across the nation.

012

Derek Tran @derektranforcongress.com · 28/09/2026

Republicans won’t get away with their temporary gimmick. I worked a tipped job, and I understand the impact of getting taxed on tips. I’m supporting a new bill that gives permanent tax savings for tipped workers.

I’m grateful for the youth who are powering our grassroots campaign. Today, we brought together local candidates and the @ocyd.bsky.social to knock on hundreds of doors and connect with Garden Grove voters.

Working families shouldn't be footing the bill for AI data centers. I voted to require states to protect families from skyrocketing utility rates caused by data centers.

Republicans are wrecking the Constitution. And they’re hurting working families while doing so. When I was a workers' rights attorney, I fought to protect working families. In Congress, I introduced legislation to continue the fight.

Derek Tran @derektranforcongress.com · 23/09/2026

The costs of data centers should not be put onto working families. I’m proud to support the Ratepayer Protection Act, which will protect Americans from footing the utility costs required to build data centers.

We have no choice but to flip the House and that starts with keeping Orange County blue. I'm proud to have the support of Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Now let’s go out and win this November!

239 years ago today, the framework for democracy was established when the Constitution was signed. Now, Republicans are doing everything they can to dismantle our Constitution. My refugee parents came to America believing in the promise of democracy, and I’m defending that promise in Congress.

To mark the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month, I recognize the incredible contributions made by the Latino community here in Southern California and the country. From Dolores Huerta to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, we must uplift and strengthen their important work to expand the American Dream.

I swore an oath to our nation, not the President. Donald Trump is a cult leader.

Team Tran beat the heat and canvassed alongside a broad coalition of Democrats in Cerritos. I am proud of the work that our grassroots campaign has done and will continue doing to make sure that Democrats take back the House this November.

Healthcare is on the ballot this November. Republicans are gutting healthcare for all Americans. I am running because healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. We need universal healthcare, and we need a Democratic majority in the House to get there.

As the first Vietnamese-American to represent Little Saigon, I am proud of small businesses like King Banh Mi, who are helping our economy grow. As a former small business owner in Congress, I am delivering results for thousands of working families in #CA45.

Derek Tran @derektranforcongress.com · 02/09/2026

I visited King Banh Mi in the heart of Little Saigon, hearing directly from the owners on the importance of fighting for the small business community. In Congress, I am focused on delivering results for thousands of working families in our district.

“Four weeks” in Iran has turned into over 6 months of war with no end in sight. This war needs to end, now. I have voted YES on the War Powers Resolution to end this war of choice in Iran. Americans are paying the price, and for what? apnews.com/article/iran...

If anyone asks what a refugee kid on SNAP looks like, I say they look like me. Food stamps are vital for American families, just like they were important when I was growing up. On the 62nd anniversary of the Food Stamp Act, I am fighting to maintain these essential benefits in Congress.

When a hazardous materials crisis broke out in our community, I was on the ground supporting evacuees and the small businesses impacted. I will always fight for our vibrant small business community in Congress.

63 years ago, the March on Washington paved the way for civil rights activism and equality for all Americans. Today, I work to honor the protections that the Civil Rights Act established and fight for a more equal America for all.

The hazardous materials incident in Garden Grove shuttered over 5,000 small businesses. As a small business owner, I know firsthand the impact of unprecedented disasters. That’s why I’ve secured federal support for small businesses like Sabroso! Mexican Kitchen.

I strongly believe in meeting youth where they’re at. I recently sat down with The Daily Titan at Cal State Fullerton to talk about issues impacting college students in the district. I’m grateful for the youth coalition behind our grassroots campaign to take back the House.

It is unconscionable that Defense Secretary Hegseth wants more money to fund his choice of war in Iran, which is driving up costs for Americans. I'm demanding the Administration release the details on the cost of the Iran war, which has wasted over $37 billion in taxpayer dollars.

Trump’s Supreme Court just sent a message to every single voter across California that if you aren’t with them, your right to vote doesn’t matter. I am reviewing all available options in Congress to ensure your vote is protected in November.

Like so many parents right now, I bought my kids school supplies and I was shocked at how much it costs. Families are paying an extra $175 on school supplies this year because of Donald Trump’s reckless spending. Democrats have a plan to fix this when we take back the House in November.

Derek Tran @derektranforcongress.com · 19/08/2026

My parents immigrated here in pursuit of a better life and the American Dream. With a profound appreciation for this country, I enlisted in the Army, defended workers in court, started a small family business, and then ran for Congress to give the largest Vietnamese diaspora in the world a voice.

It is an honor to earn the support of the brave men and women in uniform with the California Fraternal Order of Police. Everyday, I hear how important it is that we take public safety seriously. That’s why I’ve prioritized and delivered on increasing federal resources to support CA FOP’s work.

My parents immigrated here for the American dream, and public education was my way out of poverty. As a father of children in public schools, I’m fighting to continue to fund and expand educational opportunity for everyone, no matter where you’re from or what neighborhood you live in.

Derek Tran @derektranforcongress.com · 14/08/2026

The priority was always to serve the community. I’ve secured over $11 million in federal funding to strengthen our region’s infrastructure because we all need safe water systems, libraries, emergency response, and roads.
