Tran & Min’s Ties to Newsom’s Crooked Pay-to-Play Machine

September 12, 2025

In California, corruption isn’t an accident, it’s the business model. Out of touch Democrats Derek Tran and Dave Min are knee-deep in the same crooked swamp as Gavin Newsom, where pay-to-play politics comes before Californians:

Now we know that Newsom’s top donors got millions in contracts, fat tax credits, plum board seats, and favorable executive actions. It’s the same old Sacramento story: write big checks, get even bigger paydays

“It’s clear that in Gavin Newsom’s California, corruption is the cost of doing business and Democrats Derek Tran and Dave Min are all in. Pay-to-play politics, special favors for donors, and contracts for cronies. California families pay more, while Newsom and his allies cash in. That’s not public service, it’s political corruption.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
