DJ Calif Local GOP Asks House Candidate Nguyen To Quit Race GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (AP)--Orange County, Calif. Republican leaders on Thursday called for the withdrawal of a GOP congressional candidate who has acknowledged that his campaign sent a letter threatening Hispanic immigrant voters. County Republican Chairman Scott Baugh told The Associated Press that the party's executive committee voted unanimously to ask candidate Tan D. Nguyen to pull out. Earlier Thursday, Nguyen said in an interview that he has fired a campaign staffer who may have been the source of a letter that falsely told Hispanics that immigrants can go to jail if they try to vote. "I did not do this. I did not approve of any letter," said Nguyen, the challenger to U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Calif. Nguyen is a Vietnamese immigrant whose opposition to illegal immigration figures heavily in his underdog campaign. State and federal officials are investigating the mailing for possible violations of election law. Baugh said that after speaking with California's attorney general's office and the private company that distributed the mailer, he believes Nguyen had direct knowledge of the letter. "I learned information that allows me to draw the conclusion that not only was Mr. Nguyen's campaign involved in this, but that Mr. Nguyen was personally involved in expediting the mailer," Baugh said in a telephone interview.
