One of the stinkiest campaign ads used in the past weeks to foil voters from voting in favor of Loretta Sanchez was an ad publicized by the other runner of the Orange county seat in congress. Van Tran the other candidate running mailed out ads prtraying Sanchez as one of the problems of Washington as she was portrayed selling stinky perfume. The booklet with the ad had a scratch and sniff part to it that reaked like garbage and many potential voters were turned off by this campaigning. This was one of the first times since 1996 that Loretta Sanchez has been challanged to get  her seat in congress removed.

The dirty campaigning backfired upon Van Tran as the humor was used as a way of showing Van Tran's lack of work ethics when it came to campaigning. Some say that instead of mailing out ways to make Sanchez look bad he should have been working on ways that Orange county could be benefitting under his time in congress. Sanchez took the opportunity to acknowledge Van Trans dirty campaigns and it was one of his mistakes in his campaigning strategy.
