LOS ANGELES (AP) – A misfired email this week made it appear California Rep. Loretta Sanchez was running for U.S. Senate, then she said she was undecided.
That could change again.
On Thursday, the 10-term Democrat plans a “significant” political announcement at a Santa Ana train station, the same spot and time the supposedly errant email said she planned to announce her Senate candidacy.
The confusion started Tuesday, after an email circulated from Sanchez inviting supporters to join her Thursday to mark her entry into the 2016 contest.
The seat is held by retiring Democrat Barbara Boxer.
But adviser Bill Carrick said the email was a draft that was accidentally distributed and Sanchez hadn’t made up her mind about running.
The only major Democrat in the contest is state Attorney General Kamala Harris.
