Orange County Supervisor Gaddi H. Vasquez said he is considering running for the Republican nomination for California secretary of state. “There’s been some interest and I’ve received some substantial encouragement in the Republican Party,” Vasquez said. He said he would weigh the “personal and public considerations” and make a decision in the next two weeks. Vasquez, 34, is viewed as an up-and-coming Republican politician who has a bright future in a party that is anxious to broaden its base to include minorities. So far, no Republican candidates have emerged in the 1990 secretary of state’s race. Former Fair Political Practices Commission Chairman Tom Houston has said he will challenge incumbent March Fong Eu for the Democratic nomination.
