Former President Donald Trump endorsed Orange County, California Republican Congressional candidate Scott Baugh in the upcoming election.
“Scott Baugh is a terrific America First Candidate running to represent the Great People of California’s 47th Congressional District,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Scott has a tremendous Record of Success, and strong support from his Community. In Congress, Scott will be an INCREDIBLE Fighter who will work tirelessly to Stop Inflation, Grow our Economy, Secure our Border, Champion our Military/Vets, Restore American Energy DOMINANCE, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment,” he continued.
Scott Baugh is the former Assembly Republican leader and currently running to represent District 47.
Scott Baugh’s opponent, Democrat David Min, has served as a California state senator.
Democrat David Min is against voter ID and introduced a senate bill which prohibited local governments from imposing voter ID requirements.
“Senator Dave Min (D-Irvine) announced the Senate’s passage of Senate Bill (SB) 1174, which prohibits local governments from imposing voter identification (ID) requirements in local elections and reinforces the State of California’s exclusive jurisdiction on the matter. The bill passed off of the Senate Floor on a 30-8 vote and has moved over to the Assembly.” Min’s office announced earlier this year.
“The Senate’s passage of SB 1174 sends a clear message: local jurisdictions do not have the authority to enact their own voter ID requirements in contravention of California state law,” Min said.
