About

Source: Campaign Site

Dave Min CA-47 1Our Senator Dave Min is committed to building an economy and community that uplifts every Orange County family.

Over the past three years, we have been able to build a better Orange County by ending gun shows at the Orange County Fairgrounds, appropriating $2.1 billion for COVID-19 relief grants for small businesses, and making California the first state in the nation to recognize reproductive coercion as a form of domestic violence. We have also taken aggressive action to address our climate crisis — bringing back nearly $80 million in direct funding to Orange County for key district priorities related to wildfire prevention, outdoor space preservation, and green innovation, as well as hundreds of millions more in indirect funding for small businesses and unemployed workers.
I’m running for Congress because, as a first-generation, Korean American, I want my kids to grow up in the same California that attracted my parents and so many immigrants like them to come plant roots here—where everyone has a fair shot at the American Dream, where women have autonomy over their own bodies, we prioritize our environment and the safety of our children, and where we maintain the spirit of openness and innovation that makes America so special.

I learned the importance of hard work, education and economic opportunity from my parents. They came to this country from Korea in 1971 for their graduate studies, and ended up settling down in California to raise my younger brother and me. My mom and dad grew up in the aftermath of the Korean War, and like most Koreans from that era, respected and admired the 36,000 American GI’s who had given their lives to help protect and then rebuild South Korea. Like many Koreans from that era, my dad still has an occasional (OK, frequent) hankering for Spam, which was given out by Americans to struggling Korean families in the aftermath of the war.

Before returning to the Golden State to work as a business law professor at UC Irvine School of Law, I cracked down on corporate greed as an enforcement attorney at the Securities and Exchange Commission, served as economic and financial policy advisor to Senator Chuck Schumer, and directed economic policy at the Center for American Progress.

I met my wife Jane, who is the most amazing woman I know, while attending Harvard Law School. Jane teaches Family Law and runs the Domestic Violence Clinic, also at UCI Law. She is the founder and director of UC Irvine’s Initiative to End Family Violence, a signature initiative of the university working to find better solutions to the terrible and unfortunately all too common problem of domestic abuse and violence. She’s been a thought leader in her field, and with her partnership, we’ve been able to pass 8 leading bills to protect survivors of domestic violence.

We are grateful to be raising our three young children in Irvine. We love Orange County’s vibrance, diversity, and neighborliness, and of course the weather is amazing. To Jane and me, this district represents the very best of California – and America.

Min ran in the 2018 election to represent California’s 45th congressional district but was defeated in the nonpartisan blanket primary by incumbent Congresswoman Mimi Walters and fellow UC Irvine professor Katie Porter, who went on to defeat Walters in the general election. He was elected to the state senate in the 2020 elections after defeating Costa Mesa mayor and future Orange County Board of Supervisors member Katrina Foley in the primary and then by narrowly defeating incumbent Republican John Moorlach in the November election.

Min defeated Republican nominee Scott Baugh in the 2024 election to represent California’s 47th congressional district.

Reproductive Rights

There are no compromises when it comes to women’s access to abortion and contraception. Women should have full autonomy over their own bodies and their ability to make their own healthcare decisions. Full stop. I’ve been a loud and outspoken advocate for abortion rights, and have authored leading legislation to protect these rights, including Proposition 1, which codified abortion rights in the state Constitution, as well as SB 374, which made California the first state in the nation to recognize reproductive coercion as a form of domestic violence. I’m proud to be the only candidate in the race for CA-47 rated 100% by Planned Parenthood and NARAL, and I look forward to taking that record to Washington, DC.

Look, we’re going to have to fight like hell if we want to restore abortion rights as core Constitutional rights. I’ve fought that fight in Sacramento, and I’m prepared to take up the cause in Congress. I support the federal codification of Roe v. Wade and other key legislation to protect the rights of women to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions. But we must go further. We have to begin the long, hard work of taking back our federal judiciary from the extremist MAGA judges who are rewriting the Constitution to attack the rights of women. We cannot go back in time to the days when women regularly died from pregnancy complications or were forced into having back alley abortions.

Gun Violence Prevention

There is no place in America that is safe from the specter of gun violence, even here in Orange County: whether it’s a church in Laguna Woods, an office park in Orange, a biker bar in Trabuco Canyon, or a hair salon in Seal Beach. We are the only developed nation in the world with anywhere close to this level of gun violence, and I refuse to let this be normalized. I’ve been proud to earn an ‘F’ rating from the NRA for my leadership on gun safety, authoring a number of key bills to end gun violence, including the bills that banned gun shows at the Orange County Fairgrounds and on all state property.

In Congress, I will support the renewal of the assault weapons ban, and expanded background checks and red flag laws. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with leading gun safety groups to ban ghost guns, push for safe gun storage, and expand the liability of gun manufacturers. We don’t have to live in constant fear of gun violence, but if we want to change this, we have to elect people who are unafraid to take on the gun lobby.

Climate Action & Environmental Justice

As the parent of three young kids, I cannot think of a more urgent issue to tackle than climate change. The science is clear: we are facing tectonic changes to our basic way of life unless we begin to aggressively reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and turn the tide on carbon emissions, and the longer we wait, the more terrifying the consequences. The wildfires, droughts, severe weather anomalies, and high temperatures we’re experiencing now will seem mild compared to the Biblical-level events that climate change will wreak on our planet.

I’m proud to be the only candidate in this race endorsed by and rated 100% by Sierra Club. In the State Senate, I’ve authored and coauthored a number of key climate bills, including legislation to end offshore drilling, decarbonize transportation and household appliances, and to require companies to disclose their climate risks and carbon emissions from their supply chains. I’ve also been a leader in the fights to preserve our wilderness and protect biodiversity, including authoring the first law in the country to enact the “30 by 30” goals of protecting 30% of our open spaces by the year 2030, which leading scientists have said are necessary to ensure we prevent mass extinction.

In Congress, I hope to bring to bear at the federal level many of the changes that we’re leading here with in California. The fact is that the high profile efforts– such as pushing electric cars, encouraging solar and wind, electrifying the grid– is not enough. We’re going to need to bear down on some of the more technical and mundane aspects of climate policy– addressing methane leaks, decarbonizing more difficult sectors like heavy duty transit, aviation, or cement and asphalt production while continuing to push to address our open spaces and adapt to the changes that climate change will wreak– and federal policy has a huge role to play here in driving the necessary green innovation and incentivizing private capital to come into these areas. We can solve the climate crisis, but we must act with urgency and smart policy.

Democracy and the rule of law

The January 6 insurrection was horrifying. It has become clear that this was not a “peaceful protest gone awry,” but rather the coordinated effort of Donald Trump and his closest supporters to try to utilize the powers of the presidency, coupled with fake electors and violence, to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

I’ve spent my career upholding the rule of law, whether as a young attorney at the SEC prosecuting corporate fraud or as a law professor teaching the next generation of advocates at UC Irvine School of Law. In the State Senate, I have not only been outspoken in fighting back against voter suppression efforts and book bans, but I have also introduced legislation to crack down on these anti-democratic efforts. I’ve authored a bill authorizing our Secretary of State to remove candidates from our ballots who have committed insurrection, as required under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

When I’m elected to Congress, I’ll continue fighting for democracy and what’s right, including supporting legislation to end stock trading by members of Congress and bolstering voting rights.

Protecting Survivors of Domestic Violence & Sex Abuse

I’m fortunate to be married to Jane Stoever, who is not only an amazing spouse and mother, but is also a thought and advocacy leader in the area of domestic violence. Jane is a professor at UC Irvine School of Law, where she teaches Family Law and directs the Domestic Violence Clinic, which represents survivors of DV in accessing the legal and other help they need to escape abusive relationships. Jane has written a number of leading legal research papers in this area, and her on-the-ground experience has been incredibly informative in her research.

With her brilliant counsel, I’ve been privileged to author eight DV-related bills into law, protecting survivors of domestic violence and saving lives. These include a number of first-in-the-nation bills, including legislation to designate reproductive coercion as a form of abuse. I’ve also been a leader in protecting women and children from abuse, and last year, I authored legislation to create criminal penalties for religious clergy who take advantage of their positions to sexually abuse those under their supervision.

In Congress, I will continue to work with Jane to develop solutions to the far too common problems of domestic violence and sexual abuse.

Housing and Homelessness

The number 1 reason people are leaving our great state of California– and the number 1 reason for homelessness here– is the high cost of housing. It is unfathomable that in a state as wealthy as California, in a country as prosperous as the United States, we have such a major homelessness issue. We must do more to address this problem. I’m proud to have a 100% rating from California YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard), the leading pro-housing group in the state, and to be a leader in the efforts to build more housing in the state.

At the federal level, we must expand efforts to fund affordable housing, including the creation of new housing, the rehabilitation of existing housing, and the easing of barriers that prevent lower income households from accessing housing. Earlier in my career, I led the Center for American Progress’s efforts to bolster our federal affordable housing funding, including developing the major proposal on reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the housing finance entities that were put into federal conservatorship following the 2008 financial crisis. I hope to bring this expertise to bear in finding solutions for affordable housing in Congress.

Finally, it is critical that we recognize that to address the problem of the chronically homeless, we must do more than just provide housing. By the time you see someone on the streets, they’ve typically been homeless or housing-insecure for months or years, creating a vicious cycle of mental health and substance abuse problems that make it very difficult to re-enter society. The non-profit organizations that are dealing with homelessness most effectively have all reported the same thing– that the biggest barrier to their work is the difficulties in combining federal, state, and local funding for housing and mental health and substance abuse services. By easing these barriers, we can help solve the problem of homelessness.

Standing up to MAGA Extremists

nfortunately, even here in California, we’ve seen MAGA politicians hijack local school boards and city councils. I’ve spoken out forcefully against their culture war efforts, including by issuing statements, writing letters, and even speaking at Council Chambers against book bans, voter suppression efforts, and proposals targeting the LGBTQ+ community. I’ve also introduced legislation to address some of these bad faith initiatives.

At the same time, we’ve also seen a sharp rise in hate here in the OC and across the country, including anti-Asian hate, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and anti-LGBTQ+ hate. I’ve held or participated in over 150 panels, roundtables, and other events organized to try to speak out against rising hate. I’ve authored legislation to address these issues, including  a major bill trying to deal with rising harassment on public transit, and I’ve worked closely with local officials to try to coordinate strategies on making our residents feel safer. I’m proud of the fact that I’m endorsed by over 60 local government officials, as well as major anti-discrimination groups such as Equality CA, the largest LGBTQ+ rights group in the country, and Asian Americans in Action.

In Congress, I’ll continue to stand up for marginalized communities and stand up to the MAGA extremists, both in Washington, DC and here at home.

Education

As the product of California public schools, I know how important good public education is for the American Dream. I’m proud to be the ONLY candidate in this race who sends his own kids to public schools, and to be the only candidate backed by the major pro-education groups, including the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers.

In the State Senate, I serve on the Budget Committee’s Education Subcommittee, which is responsible for handling the funding for all K-12 public schools, community colleges, the California State University system, and a good part of the University of California’s budget. In this role, I’ve tried to emphasize the ABCs of good education– good teachers, smaller class sizes, and better access– even as we had to deal with the significant challenges posed by COVID-19.

I’ve also raised concerns about the removal of calculus and other advanced math classes from our state’s required curriculum, as well as the elimination of standardized testing in our UCs.

While I empathize with the policy goals of inclusion and equity behind these policies, I think more data and analysis must be gathered before we engage in massive policy changes that could harm generations of students.

In Congress, I want to focus on how we can rethink public education in ways that prepare and train children and also adults for the rapidly changing economy. More vocational training and adult education programs will be needed as AI and automation come into play more and more. We should be rethinking how we utilize our K-12 and higher education institutions, and I hope to be a thoughtful voice in this discussion, even as I continue to push hard to emphasize the basics of good teachers and smaller class sizes across our education system.

Public Safety

I’m proud to be the only candidate in the race for CA-47 endorsed by police, and I’ve worked closely with local law enforcement to combat rising crime and homelessness, including authoring two key bills to address rider safety on public transit, and procuring $1 million for local police to help keep our communities safe. I am endorsed by PORAC, the state’s largest association of public safety officers, as well as the Fraternal Order of Police. I’ve also authored leading gun safety legislation to keep unlicensed and unregistered guns off our streets.

In Congress, I will continue to advocate for a common sense approach to criminal justice, one that balances the desire for fair and racially neutral policing with the need to keep our streets, our homes, and our workplaces safe from crime.

Small Business Relief

Earlier in my life, I tried my hand in business. After graduating from the Wharton School, I joined a group of friends in starting up a technology firm. Unfortunately, during the 2001 downturn, we lost our funding, and my dreams of being a tech mogul were dashed. But because of those experiences, I have a very strong and very personal respect for those entrepreneurs and small business owners who put their blood, sweat, and tears– as well as their own money– into their ventures.

In the state legislature, I’ve tried to be a champion for small business. I authored the Small Business Relief Grant Program, which allocated $4.1B in relief grants to small businesses suffering due to the COVID-19 pandemic and authoring a law to address predatory lending targeted at small businesses. I’ve also authored other legislation trying to help small businesses, including several bills (which did not pass) trying to reduce the regulatory burden that they face in our state, as well as a law that addressed the growing problem of predatory lending targeting small businesses with hidden junk fees and usurious rates.

In Congress, I’ll continue to try to be a champion for small businesses.

David Kunnghee Min[1] (born March 5, 1976)[2] is an American lawyer and politician. A member of the Democratic Party he serves as the state senator for California’s 37th Senate district, which includes portions of Orange County.[3] He was an assistant law professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law before he was elected to the California State Senate.[4]

Min ran in the 2018 election to represent California’s 45th congressional district but was defeated in the nonpartisan blanket primary by incumbent Congresswoman Mimi Walters and fellow UC Irvine professor Katie Porter, who went on to defeat Walters in the general election.[5] He was elected to the state senate in the 2020 elections after defeating Costa Mesa mayor and future Orange County Board of Supervisors member Katrina Foley in the primary and then by narrowly defeating incumbent Republican John Moorlach in the November election.[6]

Min defeated Republican nominee Scott Baugh in the 2024 election to represent California’s 47th congressional district.[7]

Biography

Born in Providence, Rhode Island to Korean American parents who immigrated to the United States in 1972 to pursue doctoral degrees at Brown University, Min grew up in Palo Alto in the San Francisco Bay Area.[8] He went to the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business and School of Arts and Sciences, where he received his undergraduate degrees in 1999.[9] Min attended Harvard Law School, where he got his J.D.[10]

Prior to his election to the California State Senate, Min was an assistant law professor at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). He focused on the law and policy of banking, capital markets, and real estate finance.[11][12] He testified about the impact of Dodd-Frank Financial Regulations to the House Financial Services Subcommittee in 2012.[13][better source needed]

Min passed the February 2022 California bar exam.[14]

Political career

After graduating from Harvard Law School, Min worked in financial regulation. Min was a staff attorney at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Banking Committee counsel for Sen. Chuck Schumer[15][16] and counsel and senior policy advisor for the United States Congress Joint Economic Committee,[11] until becoming the associate director for Financial Markets Policy at the think tank Center for American Progress.[17][18] There he supervised the Mortgage Finance Working Group.[19]

2018 congressional campaign

Min announced his House candidacy on April 5, 2017, challenging incumbent Rep. Mimi Walters in California’s 45th congressional district.[20] Min stated he was inspired to run for Congress after President Donald Trump temporarily suspended immigration from certain predominantly Muslim countries, which he said was a “slap in the face” to the son of two immigrants.[21] Min said there is a new “groundswell of political consciousness” nationally among Korean Americans, with people starting to feel comfortable enough to enter politics.[22]

Min received the endorsement of the California Democratic Party at its State Convention in February 2018 after a contentious floor fight where he barely received the necessary 60% of the vote.[23][24]

Min criticized Walters for living outside of the district and for refusing to hold public or in-person town halls.[8] Min came in third place in the primary election behind Walters and Katie Porter.[5] Porter went on to win the general election.

2020 State Senate campaign

On January 9, 2019, Min announced his campaign against State Senator John Moorlach to represent the California’s 37th State Senate district.[25] In the primary election, Min defeated Costa Mesa Mayor Katrina Foley, thus advancing to the general election to face Moorlach.[26]

Min narrowly defeated Moorlach in the fall of 2020 with 51.2% of the vote.[27] He assumed office on December 7, 2020. His term lasts four years.[28]

While in office, Min introduced legislation related to violence, including bills to expand protections for survivors of domestic abuse, study harassment on California’s transit systems, make child custody cases private by default, and reduce gun shows and sales on state-owned property.[29][30][31][32][33]

Min also introduced legislation to facilitate the termination of offshore oil drilling leases in Orange County following the 2021 Huntington Beach oil spill, but it died following opposition from the oil industry and trade unions.[34] Some lawmakers, including Bob Hertzberg, expressed concerns about the cost of Min’s proposed legislation.[35]

2024 congressional campaign

Main article: 2024 California’s 47th congressional district election

Min announced a second campaign for Congress in January 2023, running for California’s 47th congressional district.[36] Katie Porter, the incumbent representative who defeated Min in the 2018 congressional primary, vacated the seat to run in the 2024 United States Senate election in California and endorsed Min to succeed her.[37] After Min was arrested and convicted for a DUI, former representative Harley Rouda called for him to drop out of the race. Min declined to leave the race.

He finished second in the “top two” primary for CA-47 and advanced to the general election.[38] He faced Scott Baugh, a former assemblymember who was Porter’s opponent in 2022. The Associated Press projected Min to be the winner of the election on November 13.[39]

Personal life

Min is married to Jane Stoever, a clinical professor of law at UC Irvine.[40] She works on domestic violence issues.[41] They have three children.[8]

Min was arrested in Sacramento for drunk driving in 2023.[42] He had a blood alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit and did not have his headlights on when he was pulled over for driving through a red light.[43] Min pleaded no contest, and was sentenced to three years informal probation.[44]
