Joseph Cao’s signature not on House GOP’s anti-abortion letter

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

The House Republicans today made news (here) with a letter sent to President Obama asking the latter not to sign the Freedom of Choice Act - a bill that has not been passed yet. The letter is signed by 80 anti-abortion GOP House members, but newly installed Rep. Anh Joseph Cao of Louisiana (pictured) is not among the signers.

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is a proposal made in the Senate by Sen. Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat, and in the House by Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat. It has never been passed and is still unlikely to pass any time soon.

The letter (full text here) was sent by House GOP leader John Boehner of Ohio to the President, and is signed by 80+ of his colleagues, asking the President not to sign FOCA.

Van Tran files intent to run for Tom Harman’s seat

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

The Red County/OC Blog is reporting here that Assemblyman Van Tran has filed a statement of intent to run in 2010 for the 35th State Senate District, currently held by fellow Republican Tom Harman.

Tran is termed out in 2010. Harman’s term is not up until 2012. So, how is Tran going to run for the 35th in 2010?

Because Harman has filed a statement of intent to run for state Attorney General in 2010. If Harman wins, his seat will open up and that’s what Van Tran will be running for.

Previously, rumors had it that Tran was aiming for Senator Lou Correa’s seat in the 34th district. Correa is up for re-election in 2010.

No problems there. Tran can move all funds he raised for the 35th to a campaign for the 34th any time he wants to, so the 34th Senate seat is not out of the equation at all.
