Democratic state Sen. Dave Min and Republican Scott Baugh are vying for Katie Porter's U.S. House seat representing the 47th Congressional District in Orange County.
The battle for the open seat in California's 47th Congressional District pits Democratic state Sen. Dave Min against Republican business owner Scott Baugh in a race that both parties see as pivotal in their fight to control Congress. The House seat is currently held by Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, who will be leaving Congress in January.
This affluent Orange County district runs along the coast from Seal Beach south to Laguna Beach, and reaches inland to the cities of Costa Mesa and Irvine — including the UC Irvine campus — as well as parts of Laguna Hills and the retirement community of Laguna Woods. Min broke ranks with top Democrats, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, over the summer to endorse Proposition 36, the November ballot initiative that would increase prison sentences for retail thefts and some drug crimes.
