The race for this Orange County seat \u2014 which includes Dana Point, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel and Tustin \u2014 drew a slew of Republican contenders: including entrepreneur Le Roux, former Assemblymember Bill Brough, attorney Christopher Gonzales, and businessman Michael Maxsenti. Democrat Hunter Garcia Miranda, an attorney; no party preference candidates Jesus Patino, an engineer; and Eric Troutman, an attorney; and Libertarian Derrick Michael Reid, a geopolitical commentator,\u00a0are also vying to make it through the primary runoff.<\/p>\n

Min was first elected to Congress in 2024, running for a spot left open by outgoing Rep. Katie Porter. He\u2019s a former state legislator and is a lawyer with a background in financial regulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the past 18 months, Donald Trump and his Republican allies have engaged in an outrageous and unending assault on our American values, our basic rights and freedoms, and our pocketbooks,\u201d Min said in a statement issued Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrange County residents have joined their fellow Americans around the country in decisively rejecting this agenda and demanding an end to the corruption and lawlessness we are seeing today. I look forward to again earning the trust and support of these voters in November\u2019s general election.\u201d<\/p>\n

The early returns show Miranda, Maxenti, Brough Gonzalez, Troutman, Reid and Patino trailing Le Roux.<\/p>\n
