Dave is engaged in our community, and I know he is the right choice to represent Orange County in Congress.”
Min is the only candidate in the 45th Congressional District to be endorsed by Councilwoman Foley.
“As a a Navy intelligence officer and member of the Board of Trustees for Mt. San Antonio Community College, I’m proud to support Dave Min as a candidate for California’s 45th Congressional District,” said Mount San Antonio College Board Trustee Jay Chen. “Dave is an outstanding community leader with the right experience to represent Orange County families and our veterans.
