California IN BRIEF : LA VERNE : Dreier Won’t Enter ’92 GOP Senate Race

Conservative Rep. David Dreier said he does not plan to enter the 1992 GOP primary for Alan Cranston’s U.S. Senate seat, even though he has a $1.75-million campaign war chest and the urging of some conservatives who fear they may be shut out of the 1992 lineup. The announcement by Dreier, a six-term congressman from La Verne, appears to set up a 1992 GOP primary battle between Rep. Thomas Campbell, a moderate from Stanford, and Bruce Herschensohn, a Los Angeles conservative who works as a political commentator for KABC-TV. Dreier said he decided not to run because of increasing responsibilities in the House and he denied he is only putting his Senate hopes on standby in case Herschensohn’s campaign falters.
