David Kunnghee Min[1] (born March 5, 1976)[2] is an American attorney, professor, and politician. He is the Democratic state senator for California's 37th Senate district, which includes portions of Orange County.[3] He was an assistant law professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law before he became a senator.[4]
Min ran in the 2018 election to represent California's 45th congressional district, but was defeated in the nonpartisan blanket primary by incumbent Congresswoman Mimi Walters and fellow UC Irvine professor Katie Porter, who went on to defeat Walters in the general election.[5] He was elected to the state senate in the 2020 elections after defeating Costa Mesa mayor and future Orange County Board of Supervisors member Katrina Foley in the primary and then by narrowly defeating incumbent Republican John Moorlach in the November election.[6]
