Staff Reports
Dave Min’s recent endorsement by California Governor Gavin Newsom has stirred controversy, with many questioning the wisdom of aligning with an individual known for their past scandals. Despite Min’s DUI incident in May of 2023, where he was caught driving dangerously under the influence, he managed to secure a spot in the Top 2 winners for the CA-47 Congressional race.
It’s concerning to see Democrats like Min being rewarded for reckless behavior. The fact that he received endorsements from prominent figures like Rep. Adam Schiff and Governor Newsom speaks volumes about the current state of ethics within the Democratic Party. It seems that scandal is no longer a hindrance but rather a badge of honor for those seeking political office.
On @RedState. Two drunks walk into a bar… oh wait, it's the California capitol!
DUI Dave Min Thrilled Over Endorsement by Dipsomaniac Gavin Newsom https://t.co/SOTV7M2YSi #DaveMin #ScottBaugh #CA47 #KatiePorter #DUI #Congress

Governor Newsom’s own history of scandal, including an affair with his best friend’s wife during his time as San Francisco governor, raises even more questions about his judgment and character. The fact that he now denounces the unvaccinated while endorsing individuals like Min is the height of hypocrisy.
Min’s embrace of Newsom’s endorsement, along with his pride in being supported by socialist Squad members, reveals a troubling shift towards extreme left-wing policies. From endorsing high taxes and increased living costs to ignoring rising crime rates and homelessness, Min appears more interested in pandering to his progressive base than addressing the real issues facing Californians.
As the race heats up, it will be crucial for voters to consider the candidates’ track records and values. Scott Baugh, who is leading in recent polls, offers a more conservative alternative to Min’s liberal agenda. With the support of no-party-preference voters and a focus on key issues like affordability and public safety, Baugh presents a compelling choice for those looking for effective leadership.
Min’s DUI arrest should not be taken lightly, as it raises valid concerns about his fitness for office. While he may express remorse for his actions, the fact that he continues to struggle with alcohol consumption is a red flag. Voters deserve transparency and accountability from their elected officials, and Min’s appearance on a podcast with Baugh will hopefully shed light on his ability to address these important issues.
In conclusion, the endorsement by a controversial figure like Gavin Newsom may have boosted Dave Min’s profile, but it also highlights the problematic nature of his candidacy. As the campaign progresses, voters must carefully consider the values and integrity of each candidate to make an informed decision that aligns with the best interests of the community.
