UC Irvine political science professor Louis DeSipio told City News Service he had not anticipated that the race between Democrat Derek Tran and Rep. Michelle Steel, R-Huntington Beach in Orange County’s 45th Congressional District would be so tight. “I thought it was a slam dunk for Steel, but (Tran’s) raised a lot of money, got his name out there and built some support,” DeSipio said. “My gut is the incumbent usually hangs on to those seats, but it could go either way. Democrats are clearly making an investment in that district.”
