SANTA ANA — The list of candidates for Orange County’s 47thCongressional District is being finalized.
The deadline to file was extended to Dec. 13 because Rep. Katie Porter (D-Irvine) filed to run for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by the late Dianne Feinstein instead of seeking re-election. Under state law, the filing deadline is extended five days when an incumbent eligible to run for re-election does not.
According to the Orange County Registrar of Voters, as of Wednesday, 13 potential candidates have filed to run in the March 5 primary and nine of them qualified. They are, in alphabetical order:
Scott Baugh (R), Orange County business owner and former member of the Assembly, who lost to Porter, 51.7% to 48.3%, in 2022.
Terry Crandall (no party preference), economics professor
Andrew Goffe (D), entrepreneur, did not qualify
James Griffin (R), no occupation listed, did not qualify
Tom McGrath (no party preference), chemical engineer
David Min (D), state senator, 37thSenate District, who has been in office since December 2020. He was a candidate in the 45thCongressional District in 2018.
Long Pham (R), businessman/nuclear engineer, did not qualify
Boyd Roberts (D), small business owner/publisher
Bill Smith (no party preference), retired general counsel
Max Ukropina (R), Orange County business owner
Joanna Weiss (D), voting rights advocate
Shariq Zaidi (D), security officer
Others who have expressed interest in running but are not on the Registrar of Voters’ list include Lori Kirkland Baker (D), Brian Burley (R), Weiming Chu (R), Steven Cotton (R), Julia Hashemieh (R), Dom Jones (D) and Mike Schaefer (D).
The 47th District stretches from Seal Beach to Laguna Beach and also includes Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Irvine and Newport Beach.
The official list of candidates who have qualified for the ballot will be released on Dec. 28.
