Democrat State Sen. David Min is hoping to replace Democratic incumbent, RepKatiePorter, who is running for the Senate. But, his recent DUI arrest is dampening his 2024 prospects in the swing Southern California district.
IRVINE, California — You don’t have to be a tenured law professor or state lawmaker to understand the threat to public safety, and legal consequences, of a DUI arrest. But there’s absolutely no excuse if you hold those legal and lawmaker credentials.
Yet the episode is only the latest reminder that sterling academic credentials and some success in politics don’t come with good judgment and wisdom. Min is an alum of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of business and Harvard Law School. He went on to be an assistant law professor at the University of California, Irvine, focusing on the law and policy of banking, capital markets, and real estate.
“The filing deadline is in December," Aguilar said at the California Democratic Party convention on May 27. Of Min, Aguilar added,"I think it was a terrible lapse in judgment, terrible decision-making.” In November 2005, then-Texas GOP Rep. Kevin Brady pleaded no contest to a drunken driving charge in South Dakota, where he grew up and was attending a college reunion. He was convicted and fined $350. Brady later had no trouble winning reelection and went on to become chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee before retiring from the House in 2023 after 26 years in office.
