The congressional race in California’s coastal district of Orange County is gearing up to be a contentious matchup, with the electorate closely divided.
Candidates are vying for voters in the 47th Congressional District to replace Rep. Katie Porter , who won't seek reelection as she seeks the U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein .Orange County, once a Republican stronghold, has more registered Democratic voters than Republicans, 37% to 34%, according to 2021 state registration data.
Announcing his run in January for a second attempt at winning over California’s 47th District, Baugh has raised over $1 million for his 2024 congressional campaign. Baugh has currently racked in the largest amount in individual contributions. During his previous bid for California’s 47th District, Baugh emphasized his support for lowering the national debt, strengthening border security, and restoring operations that were negatively affected by the pandemic.
Ukropina emphasized that people shouldn't have to make the decision between buying gas or getting groceries, adding, “the federal government is making it even harder to get that done.” “It's a wonderful place, and it's also a great case study in what it takes to have a safe community,” Ukropina said. “You drive 20 minutes north and it's a complete hellscape and they've allowed lawlessness in their streets.”
The Republican hopeful said the district needs “a candidate that understands the issues that are important to Orange County from a Republican standpoint,” pointing out that Orange County is still a conservative area. “I’m proud of the record I’ve built on the environment, gun violence prevention, women’s reproductive rights, the economy, and fighting hate,” Min said in his campaign announcement.
The progressive candidate is running his campaign on supporting women’s rights, condemning the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and pushing for climate change action as the chairman of the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee. Min’s arrest caused some Democratic lawmakers to pull their support, including former Democratic congressman Harley Rouda, who was a contender in the congressional race before pulling out in April for health reasons.
"While I approach this matter with the utmost respect for all parties involved, I believe it would have been appropriate for Katie Porter to address and withdraw her support of Dave Min following his DUI incident," Dom Jones, a Democratic candidate in the race, told the Washington Examiner, adding"we cannot condone or endorse such behavior.
“I'm running because I believe in affordable healthcare and a strong and equitable economy for all,” Weiss said in her campaign launch. “As we look forward to the next election, we know that defending U.S. House seats with a record of strong, Democratic pro-choice leadership will be a critical part of protecting and restoring our freedoms in the coming years,” EMILY’s List said in a June press release.
“I'm running because we need fresh new leaders who are focused on the big challenges we face as a country and here in Orange County,” Weiss said.Dominique"Dom" Jones, a Huntington Beach business owner and community activist, entered the race in January. She's been a resident of the district for nearly 10 years. If elected, she'll be the first African American woman elected to Congress from Orange County.
"By promoting competition and transparency in these sectors, we can curb excessive price hikes and empower individuals and families with greater control over their expenses," Jones said."Additionally, I will collaborate with my colleagues to explore innovative solutions, including tax reforms and strategic investments, to alleviate the burden of inflation and enhance the purchasing power of everyday Americans.
