Dave Min

Overview

Dave Min represents California in the U.S. House and has cast 452 recorded votes. His voting record reflects a legislator who generally supports Democratic priorities but breaks from his party more often than the typical House Democrat. His strongest areas of alignment with party leadership appear in foreign policy, labor, and defense-related votes, while his positions on budget and environmental measures show more nuance. On foreign policy and defense, Min has been notably active. He voted in favor of all 11 foreign policy measures that came to the floor and supported roughly 70% of defense-related bills, including votes to invoke the War Powers Resolution regarding U.S. military involvement in Lebanon and legislation supporting veterans' care. His labor record shows unanimous support across five votes. Min's environmental and energy voting shows a more complex picture. He voted in favor of roughly 35% of environment and energy measures, opposing efforts to override California's authority to set its own emissions standards while supporting water resource development and ratepayer protections. On budget matters, he opposed the majority of proposals that came to the floor, including the fiscal year 2027 congressional budget resolution and continuing appropriations measures. His criminal justice record includes support for prison staff safety legislation and a notable vote against a resolution to impeach President Trump. Across all categories, Min's record is consistent with a legislator who evaluates individual measures rather than voting strictly along party lines on every issue.
