A Southern California lawmaker who's running for Congress was arrested for drunken driving Tuesday night, according to law enforcement and jail records.
Sen. Dave Min, a Democrat who's running in the competitive 47th congressional district, said in a Facebook post that he was cited with a misdemeanor for driving under the influence. Min was released Wednesday morning after being arrested by California Highway Patrol, the Sacramento Sheriff's Department said. It wasn't clear if he would have to appear in court.
"My decision to drive last night was irresponsible. I accept full responsibility and there is no excuse for my actions," Min posted Wednesday. "To my family, constituents and supporters, I am so deeply sorry. I know I need to do better. I will not let this personal failure distract from our work in California and in Washington."The California Highway Patrol didn't immediately provide more information on Min's arrest, such as when it occurred or where he was arrested.
Min is vying for the competitive Congressional seat in Orange County now represented by Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, who's leaving her post to enter a race to replace retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Min, who has secured Porter's endorsement, is the most prominent Democrat in the race. Former Assemblyman Scott Baugh, a Republican, is also running.
Min, a Harvard-educated lawyer and a former congressional aide to U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, was elected to the state Senate in 2020. He chairs the Senate's Committee on Natural Resources and Water.
