Văn Thái Trần (born 1964) is a U.S. politician, currently serving as a Republican member of the California State Assembly, representing portions of Orange County. Tran and Texas State Representative Hubert Vo are the highest-ranking Vietnamese American elected officials in U.S. history; Tran took office one month before Vo did, making him the first Vietnamese American to serve in a state legislature.
Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Tran and his family emigrated to the United States after being evacuated by the United States Army one week before the Fall of Saigon, when he was 10 years old. After originally settling in Michigan, they moved to Orange County when Tran was a teenager. Xem tiếp... |
