Washington — Democratic Rep. Dave Min, representing California's 47th congressional district, has secured a second term in the U.S. House of Representatives, according to a race projection. The Associated Press has declared Min the winner over Republican opponent Jenny Rae Le Roux following the ongoing vote counting in California's 2024 midterm elections.
With 62 percent of the vote counted, Min holds a substantial lead, capturing 56.9 percent of the votes compared to Le Roux's 33.1 percent. The 50-year-old Min, born in Rhode Island, is of Korean descent. He holds a degree from the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School. Prior to his political career, Min worked as an enforcement attorney at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and taught law at the University of California, Irvine.
Min made history by winning a seat in the California State Senate in 2020 before running for Congress for the first time in 2018, where he finished third in the primary. He successfully ran for the U.S. House in 2024, narrowly defeating Le Roux.
