On December 11, 2025, Congressman Dave Min, D-California, announced his endorsement of Dr. Tina Shah in her campaign for New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District.
“I am excited to endorse Dr. Tina Shah for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th District,” said Congressman Dave Min (CA-47), quoted in the press release. “Tina’s experience taking care of patients on the frontlines in the ICU and working to deliver affordable and accessible healthcare will serve New Jersey and our whole country well.”
Rep. Min noted that Shah is a child of Asian immigrants just as he is. “And so she knows firsthand the importance of standing up for our core values and building the economic opportunity that defines the American Dream. She is exactly the kind of fighter we need in Congress right now.”
“I’m grateful to have Congressman Min’s support,” Shah said. “He’s proven that he knows how to win tough races and deliver for his community. I’m excited to flip this seat with his support and join in the work to ensure the American Dream is accessible to all.”

According to Shah’s campaign, the momentum continues to build behind her campaign, adding that Dr. Shah had spent her career fighting for her patients’ lives in the ICU and advancing real solutions to improve patient outcomes in the private sector and at the highest levels of government.
Today’s endorsement marks Shah’s second Congressional endorsement of the week, in addition to earlier support from ASPIRE PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, and Congresswoman Sharice Davids (KS-03).
Dr. Shah is an intensive care doctor in New Jersey who is triple board-certified. She served under three presidential administrations, and is credited with developing innovative strategies to expand access to healthcare to veterans and leading the first federal plan to combat the burnout that drove doctors and nurses out of the field.
In the state of New Jersey, she was successful in bringing about legislation that stopped insurance companies from denying care. As Chief Medical Officer of an AI company, she also led efforts to cut red tape for doctors and nurses.
