In an unfortunate turn of events, State Senator Dave Min (D-Irvine), who is currently running for Congress, recently pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor drinking and driving charge in Northern California. This incident has raised concerns and cast a shadow over his political campaign.
On August 29, Mr. Min appeared in Sacramento County Superior Court and pleaded no contest to driving under the influence of alcohol, with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit of 0.08. As a result, he was sentenced to two days in jail, three months in a first offender program, and placed on three years of informal probation.
