United States Representative, District 47

This person holds your district's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives (2-year term).

Representative Dave Min took 45.4% of the June 2 vote. Republican Jenny Rae Le Roux took 25.0%. The district covers coastal Orange County.

The winner holds one of 435 seats in the U.S. House for a two-year term. A member introduces bills, sits on committees that shape federal legislation, votes on the federal budget and on war powers, and handles casework between constituents and federal agencies. A first-term member is at the bottom of the seniority ladder that governs committee assignments.

The incumbent fell short of a majority in his own primary while raising $3.38 million, 76% of it from named individuals, and has had none of his 29 sponsored bills become law. His challenger is largely self-financed at the margin. Weigh a first federal term against a district that gave its sitting member under 46%.

Dave Min

Dave Min is a Democrat and the sitting Representative for this district since 2025, in his first term. Before Congress he was a UC Irvine law professor who studied banking and housing policy, and he worked as an enforcement attorney at the Securities and Exchange Commission. He also served in the state Senate, where he chaired the committee on natural resources and water.

Min says he cannot be bought and is focused on cleaning up corruption in Washington. As a state senator, one of his bills became the first law in the world to recognize reproductive coercion as domestic violence. Another banned gun and ammunition sales on state property, the first law of its kind in the country.

He promises to keep fighting for affordable housing, climate action, and small business support. He also says he will keep pushing to end stock trading by members of Congress and to hold the Trump administration accountable.
