Why is Tan Nguyen running for the 47th Congressional District again?
The news broke a week ago that he was running. His entry into the race will make it even harder for Van Tran and Quang Pham to prevail over Anaheim Union High School Trustee Katherine Smith, in the now very crowded GOP primary.

Pedroza, You are not correct regarding Tim Whitacre having any association with Tan Nguyen. I know Tim personally and I know he was vigorously opposed to Tan Nguyen’s candidacy for the same reasons he’s opposed to Quang Pham’s.
I also know Tim has nothing to do with Rosie Avila as you so often like to lie about. He thinks she’s a nut job like a lot of other people do. If you had half a brain you’d know Avila was an Ex Oficio member of the OCGOP because of her own primary win. Actually, she still is until the upcoming election in June.
Uhh, Art, you obviously know nothing about the Adams recall otherwise you would know it was Tim who provided the leadership that saturated the district so well with exposing Adams that it caused his unfavorable ratings to go so low he announced he would NOT be running for reelection in the June primary. Everybody who had anything to do with the recall knows they had almost twice the number of signatures but by the time they sued to be proven right, it would be the June primary which wouldn’t make sense so, the committee decided not to pursue.
I don’t remember who Tan appointed as his alternate but so what if it was Avila! That has nothing to do with Tim. I’m not saying I think Tim is the messiah or anything like that but I’m not going to sit back and let you lie about him;like him or not, he’s good at what he does. Tim never had a relationship with Tan and he’s never been close with Avila so there’s nothing to talk about.
However, don’t let those facts get in your way…LOL!
Tim stood up to Nativo, Corona, and Baugh. That makes him a winner in my book!
Good god, the tan man is back. Why isn’t he in jail?
Art and Anon, you two obviously have good connections. Tell me, who is this Tan guy? What is his background and where does he get all that money from? Who is REALLY backing him financially? Think about it!!!!
Lam,
When I spoke to Tan, years ago during his first campaign, he said he made a lot of money as an investor.
Even if that were true, he would have got killed in the market like the rest of us did over the past few years.
So why is he back and how is he paying for all this?
Hard to say. His entry into the race does not help Tran or Pham.
Janet Nguyen is helping Pham, so we cannot blame her.
So who then? Sanchez? LOL! It would be a good investment for her as the result would be facing off against Katherine Smith, a slam dunk for Sanchez…
To me it’s pretty obvious why hes back. 2 Reasons:
1: Loretta Sanchez is a criminal and is horrible for both the district and the country
2: To exonerate his name of wrong doing. Loretta bullied him and if was anyone else the issue would have been over. She was wrong and will now be exposed as a corrupt politician.
Let’s face it. Tan’s the only one who has the chance to dethrone her. She’s AWFUL!
“he said he made a lot of money as an investor”
Yeah right!!!
The Trannies and Jannies know who this guy is and who’s backing him but they won’t say. What the hell, just put this Tan dude in Congress, “his people” already own half of little Saigon anyway. You know what I’m saying, don’t you Anon (if you’re tomahawk, Tyler)
*We love Tan…he is very handsome and sharp as tack!
Where he comes from and why…hmmm
Sounds like a very esoteric question!
Think he was born in the year of the Tiger?
They say the Year of the Tiger will be prosperus!
Ron and Anna, I don’t know Tan was born in the year of the Tiger. What’s your point?
Don’t miss your rally with the Grand Dragon tonight. Bring lots of marshmallows.
#14, You’re full of A.P. which is worse than B.S. !!! Tim is the consummate gentleman and a great father, well-respected and well-liked by most within the OCGOP.I say “most” because those who try to pull unethical stunts and skirt around our bylaws are quickly called out by Tim and then usually defeated by a following vote.
Anyone who thinks that Tan is running to dilute the candidate pool is either completely ignorant or once again trying to bad mouth and smeer Tan in another manner.
It’s funny reading the different posts on this site. It spews ignorance, hatred and a distinct lack of commen sense. The people making these posts should be ashamed of themselves, I hope they don’t and never will have children.
If you care about your kids and the district then get Loretta out. Who can Beat her? Tan almost got 40% of the vote afer one of the most vile smeer campaigns ever. All he needs to get is another 10% and I truly believe after the truth about what happened to him comes out and people openly look at his stances he will win!
GO TAN!!!!!!!
