On the ballot
- Jenny Rae Le Roux — Republican
- Dave Min — Democratic
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 and 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
Democrat, the sitting Representative for this district since 2025, in his first term. He has sponsored 29 bills in the 119th Congress, none of which have become law so far. He raised $3,381,161, of which $2,584,624 came from individuals.
Strengths
A large, broadly individual-funded campaign and a high bill count for a first-term member.
Trade-offs
He took only 45.4% in his own primary; and none of his 29 sponsored bills have become law.
Keep in mind
One term is a short federal record, and both parties treat this seat as competitive.
Jenny Rae Le Roux
Republican, who advanced with 25.0% of the June vote. She raised $375,883, of which $224,597 came from individuals and $150,500 is her own money. She has not served in the California Legislature or U.S. Congress.
Strengths
A funded challenge in a competitive district, with substantial individual backing alongside her own contribution.
Trade-offs
About 40% of her campaign is self-financed, and she has no record in office to be judged on.
Keep in mind
Coverage surfaced little detail about her platform. That gap is what was available to us on 2026-08-10, not a comment on her candidacy.
