Republican Assemblyman Van Tran has picked up the endorsement of the Sacramento-based Tea Party Express in his quest to unseat Democratic Rep. Loretta Sanchez.

“He just kind of caught our eye,’’ said Levi Russell, spokesman for Tea Party Express. “We had been looking for more congressional candidates in California to get behind. We wanted to find folks who would stand up for basic Tea Party ideals.â€
