David Min is Second Democrat UCI Law Professor to Challenge Rep. Mimi Walters

It's only been a couple days, with a whole bunch more to go before the November 2018 election, and the UC Irvine School of Law vote has already been split when it comes to the 45th U.S. Congressional District seat held by Mimi Walters (R-Irvine).

That is because Associate Professor David Min has tossed his beanie into the ring, just as another colleague AND Democrat, Katie Porter, did days before.

Indeed, Min sees Porter's high-profile backing from U.S. senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) and Kamala Harris (D-California) and raises her Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York), who Min used to advise.

Sure, that's two senators for Porter and one for Min, but keep in mind that he now has a greater opportunity to have a campaign event headlined by ol' Chuckie's niece Amy Schumer. Just pray she can get through an appearance without any stolen jokes.
