ICYMI: OC Women In Leadership Support Dave Min
IRVINE, CA — State Senator Dave Min has been an advocate for women and families his entire career. An advocate for a fairer economy since his time at the Securities & Exchange Commision and the Center for American Progress, Min has also passed a number of bills in concert with his wife Professor Jane Stoever to expand and protect the rights of domestic violence survivors. Senator Min was also a co-author of Proposition 1, which enshrined abortion rights in the California state constitution. Scott Baugh, by comparison has advocated for hitting children to teach them a lesson and has repeatedly said he is against abortion in all forms. That’s why Orange County’s women in leadership support Dave Min for congress.
"Dave Min is a proven leader who will fight tirelessly for Orange County families in Congress. His record of championing critical legislation, from protecting reproductive rights to addressing gun violence, demonstrates his unwavering commitment to our community. With Dave, we have a dedicated advocate who will work tirelessly to advance our shared values and priorities. I proudly endorse Dave Min for Congress because I know he will always put the needs of Orange County first."
- Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris
“I endorse Dave Min for Congress. In the Senate, Dave championed reproductive freedom, enacted common sense gun legislation, fought to prevent new offshore oil drilling, and brought home tens of millions of tax dollars for wildfire prevention and new community parks. I look forward to partnering with Dave Min as our next Congressmember for all Orange County families.”
- Supervisor Katrina Foley
"I endorse my friend Dave Min… I know how much Dave cares about our country and Orange County. During the financial crisis, Dave fought to hold Wall Street accountable and to help stabilize our economy. I’ve been impressed with his record in the California State Senate, where he has been a progressive leader on issues like gun violence prevention, reproductive rights, and environmental protection. He ended gun shows on California state property, has fought to end offshore oil drilling, passed critical protections for domestic violence survivors, and delivered billions of dollars in COVID-19 relief funds to small businesses. State Senator Dave Min will be a fantastic member of Congress...”
- Congresswoman Katie Porter
Min’s impressive coalition of support also includes Costa Mesa Councilwoman Andrea Marr, Huntington Beach Councilwoman Rhonda Bolton, Huntington Beach Councilwoman Natalie Moser, Former Huntington Beach Mayor Kim Carr, Irvine Vice-Mayor Tammy Kim, and Irvine Councilwoman Kathleen Treseder, among many others.
