Pending Review [constituency_baseline] District summary: California's 45th Congressional District covers central Orange County and a small portion of Los Angeles County, including parts of Garden Grove, Westminster, Cerritos, Buena Park, Cypress, and La Palma. The district is home to Little Saigon, the largest Vietnamese community outside Vietnam. It is a majority-minority district with the largest ethnic group being Asian (Non-Hispanic) at 37.9%, followed by White (Non-Hispanic) at 24.8%, and Hispanic at 30.8%. The district has a median household income of $107,226, well above the national median, a median age of 40.8, and a homeownership rate of 58.6%. The district leans Democratic but is highly competitive, with a Partisan Voting Index of EVEN. Tran won the seat in 2024 by approximately 650 votes over Republican incumbent Michelle Steel.

Pending Review Voted yea on H.R. 30 (Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act) on 2025-01-16: Tran voted with 61 Democrats and all Republicans to pass this bill, while 145 Democrats opposed it. The bill expanded deportation criteria for noncitizens accused of sex offenses and domestic violence. In a district with the largest Vietnamese community outside Vietnam and a 36.9% foreign-born population, this vote created cross-pressure between his law-enforcement messaging and his constituents' immigration concerns.
