Dave Min Endorses Kamala Harris For President

IRVINE, CA —Dave Min made this statement following Vice President Kamala Harris’s candidacy:

“The 2024 presidential election may be the most important election of our lifetimes. I know Kamala Harris can win this election and be a strong leader for our country. She is not only a trailblazer who is the first woman and Asian American in the White House, she has been a leader on protecting women’s reproductive rights, gun safety, and climate rescue, issues I care deeply about. As a prosecutor, she stood up for the rule of law and law enforcement and cracked down on Wall Street fraud—a stark contrast to lawbreaking felons like Donald Trump and my opponent Scott Baugh who have spent their careers abusing the public trust for their own enrichment. I am proud to support Vice President Harris and look forward to working with her next year when I am elected to Congress.”
