California state Sen. Dave Min (D-Irvine), who is running for Congress next year in a competitive Orange County district, was released from Sacramento County jail Wednesday, according to Sacramento Sheriff’s Department records. Min said in a social media post that he was cited with drunk driving.

“Last night I was cited for a misdemeanor for driving under the influence,” Min wrote on Facebook Wednesday. “My decision to drive last night was irresponsible. I accept full responsibility and there is no excuse for my actions. To my family, constituents and supporters, I am so deeply sorry. I know I need to do better. I will not let this personal failure distract from our work in California and in Washington.”

Min’s campaign declined to answer additional questions on the record.

Min is running for the hotly contested 47th Congressional District currently represented by Rep. Katie Porter (D-Irvine), who is seeking to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Min will face former state Assemblyman Scott Baugh, a Republican, for the purple district seat that the GOP is pouring its energy into flipping red in 2024.

As if the odds of a Dem winning the 47th weren't tough enough -- this is such a setback.
