Rubric: https://voteorelse.com/about#methodology ## On the ballot - **Jenny Rae Le Roux** — Entrepreneur/Investor · Republican - **Dave Min** — United States Representative/Father · Democratic 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 Dave Min is a Democrat, the sitting Representative for this district since 2025, in his first term. Before Congress he was a UC Irvine law professor who researched banking and housing policy and testified before Congress on the subject, and he worked as an enforcement attorney at the Securities and Exchange Commission prosecuting Wall Street fraud (min.house.gov). He also served in the state Senate from 2020 to 2024, where he chaired the Natural Resources and Water Committee and secured direct appropriations for Orange County projects (min.house.gov). Min says, "I can't be bought and I'm hell bent on cleaning up the corruption and rot in Washington, DC" (campaign site). As a state senator, one of his bills became the first law in the world to recognize reproductive coercion as a form of domestic violence; another became the first U.S. law to ban gun and ammunition sales on state property (min.house.gov). He promises to keep working on affordable housing, climate action, and small business development (min.house.gov), and his campaign lists ending congressional stock trading and holding the Trump administration accountable for "corruption" among his current priorities (campaign site). **Strengths:** Already holds the seat, chairs an anti-corruption task force, and has a documented record of enacted state legislation. **Trade-offs:** None of his federal bills have become law yet, and Republicans have made this district a top national target. **Keep in mind:** One federal term is a short record, and this seat is among the most contested on the ballot. ## Jenny Rae Le Roux Jenny Rae Le Roux is a Republican whose ballot designation is entrepreneur and investor. She previously ran as a Republican candidate for California governor in the 2021 recall election. Coverage of her current congressional campaign is thin: no working campaign website could be located. She has not published a detailed platform that could be located. What is available is limited to her name, party, and ballot designation. **Strengths:** A prior statewide campaign gives her some name recognition beyond a typical first-time candidate. **Trade-offs:** No record in office, no located platform, and almost no independent 2026 coverage to judge her on. **Keep in mind:** What is missing here is a gap in what is public, not a comment on her candidacy. ## Record in office Jenny Rae Le Roux has not served in the California Legislature or U.S. Congress; these records cover only those offices. Dave Min (Democratic) has served in the U.S. House since 2025 and has sponsored 30 bills in the 119th Congress; none of their bills have become law so far. Per Congress.gov and the public-domain congress-legislators roster, retrieved 2026-09-21. ## Record details Min — Committees: Natural Resources; Oversight and Government Reform Committee assignments and the most recently signed-into-law bills each record-holder lead-authored, from the official legislative record. ## Financial info - **Jenny Rae Le Roux** — $375,883 raised (Individuals: $224,597; Self-funding: $150,500) - **Dave Min** — $3,381,161 raised (Individuals: $2,584,624; PACs & committees: $591,029; Party: $8,613) Total raised is all receipts for the 2026 cycle; the breakdown lists direct contributions, so the pieces can sum below the total.
