Milpitas Mayor Rich Tran is withdrawing his candidacy for Santa Clara County Supervisor and jumping into the race for State Assembly District 25 – looking to replace Kansen Chu who is running for Supervisor. Tran’s announcement came via an early morning Facebook post in which he stated that he did not want to campaign against Kansen, someone he considers a friend and mentor.
“So, I’m no longer running for Santa Clara County Supervisor and will be supporting Kansen Chu in that race. He’s got the leadership to serve Milpitas and Santa Clara County. Instead of running for the same seat, grounding and pounding through campaign season, I have made the decision to show my respect for someone that has done very much for many,” Tran posted.
Tran will join Anna Song, a seasoned member of the Santa Clara Office of Education, and Santa Clara Unified Trustee Jim Canova in the race for Assembly District 25.
