Derek Tran won reelection to California's 45th Congressional District, defeating Republican challenger Chuong Vo. The Associated Press declared the victory shortly before 11 p.m. on Tuesday, November 3, after preliminary results from the California secretary of state's office showed Tran with a significant lead.
The district encompasses Cerritos in Los Angeles County and Little Saigon in Orange County, areas with large Vietnamese American populations. Both candidates are children of Vietnamese refugees. Vo, a former police officer with nearly 30 years of service, centered his campaign on his family's immigrant experience.
