The Tea Party Express (website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org) announced its endorsement of Asm. Van Tran (R-CA) for Congress today.

“Van Tran has spent six years fighting against higher taxes and irresponsible budgets in California,” said Amy Kremer, Chairman of the Tea Party Express. “His conservative principles and strong leadership are exactly what we need in Congress.”

Tran is running against incumbent Democrat Loretta Sanchez in the historically conservative Orange County, CA.

“Liberals like Sanchez have given us ObamaCare, soaring deficits, and out-of-control spending,” said Bryan Shroyer, Political Director for the Tea Party Express. “Electing principled conservatives like Van Tran is the first step to restoring fiscal sanity to Washington.”

The Tea Party Express has been active in 2010, already having spent over $1 million in support of electoral victors Scott Brown in Massachusetts, Sharron Angle in Nevada, Marco Rubio in Florida and Mike Lee in Utah.

The Tea Party Express is perhaps best known for its three national Tea Party Express bus tours, with over 150+ tea party rallies taking place as part of these tours. The rallies have drawn several hundred thousand participants and featured the likes of Gov. Sarah Palin, Joe The Plumber, Rep. Michele Bachmann, conservative author and pundit Ann Coulter, Rep. Joe Wilson, and many others.
