IRVINE, CA – California Democrats are rallying behind Democratic Party endorsed candidate Dave Min as our best chance to defeat Congresswoman Mimi Walters and turn CA-45 blue. In addition to Congresswoman Judy Chu and Congressman Mark Takano, six more members of the California Delegation announced their support for Dave Min’s candidacy.
CHC BOLD PAC, the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, also announced their endorsement of Dave Min. CHC BOLD PAC is the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ political action committee and is dedicated to increasing the diversity of leadership in the House and Senate. Its members include 31 Latino elected officials and several members of the California Delegation.
“The American people have made it perfectly clear that they are sick of partisan bickering, divisive rhetoric, and destructive policies. They want real leaders and real solutions, and that’s exactly why BOLD PAC is proud to endorse Dave Min,” said Rep. Tony Cardenas, CHC BOLD PAC Chair.
The following Southern Californian Congressional representatives also threw their support behind Min:
Rep. Linda Sanchez, California’s 38th Congressional District:
“As an Orange County native and mom, I know the challenges that working families face here in our community. Dave Min gets it. He has the experience, the vision, and the passion to represent the vibrant, diverse and hardworking families of California’s 45th Congressional district. I have seen him work tirelessly to reach out to voters that have felt abandoned by their political representatives, and give them a voice. I know he’ll be a tireless advocate for education, healthcare, environmental protection, middle class job creation, and women’s rights. I am proud to endorse Dave Min for Congress.”
Rep. Scott Peters, California’s 52nd Congressional District:
“Dave Min will be an outstanding member of Congress who will be committed to representing the values of his district. Dave’s ‘Dad Agenda’ of investing in long-term priorities like education, infrastructure and preventing climate change will help address the challenges faced by Southern California families. Dave’s thoughtful and pragmatic approach to governing will serve him well in Congress.”
Rep. Grace Napolitano, California’s 32nd Congressional District:
“I look forward to working with Dave Min in Congress to protect Californians from Donald Trump’ s dangerous agenda. Dave’s strong support for DREAMERS and his emphasis on improving the lives of working California families by investing in our crumbling infrastructure and improving the educational and economic opportunities available for all is commendable. He has earned the overwhelming support of the local community because of his strong commitment to grassroots campaigning, and I know Dave will be a tireless advocate for his district when he is in Congress.”
Rep. Ami Bera, California’s 7th Congressional District:
“Serving as a UC Irvine law professor, as well as a community leader, Dave has consistently proved a commitment to putting people first, and ensuring our economy works for middle-class America. That is why I’m proud to endorse Dave Min for Congress in California’s 45th District.”
Rep. Pete Aguilar, California’s 31st Congressional District:
“Dave Min shares my commitment to fighting for all families to achieve the American Dream. I know Dave will be a relentless advocate for middle class families, immigrants, students, seniors and veterans, and he brings a much-needed economic expertise to Congress. I’m proud to endorse Dave Min for Congress because he is the candidate with the right background, experience and vision to represent his incredibly diverse district.”
Rep. Lou Correa, California’s 46th Congressional District:
“Having represented and worked with Orange County residents for many years, I know Dave Min is the best prepared to meet the challenge of standing up for Orange County alongside me in Congress.
