Derek Tran Fights to Keep Orange County Families Safe, Strengthen Support Systems for Emergency Responders

Congressman Derek Tran is taking decisive action to keep California families and first responders safe.

Tran introduced the Emergency Responders Mental Health Training (EMT) Act to establish training fellowships focused on mental health and substance abuse care for first responders — ensuring those who keep Californians safe have access to the resources they deserve.

Tran’s EMT Act builds upon his proven track record of fighting for public safety, from being a member of the Bipartisan Congressional Law Enforcement Caucus, to introducing the CARE for First Responders Act, to bringing back federal funding for local law enforcement.

That’s why he has the support of the broadest coalition of law enforcement in his race — the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs, Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs, and the California Fraternal Order of Police, while retired police officer and extremist Chuong Vo has made it crystal clear he’s ready to back Republicans’ reckless agenda — even if it hurts Orange County families.

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Congressman Derek Tran has a proven track record of putting the safety of California families first. Tran has never backed away from his community in times of need, but Chuong Vo can’t say the same as he rushes to fall in line with his extreme party bosses in D.C., no matter how it hurts California.”
