As Chair of Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee, Senator Min got negative points because a water rights bill took significant amendments in his committee. His committee was also responsible for stopping 3 other pro-environment bills: one on groundwater, another bill on modernizing water rights, and a bill that would have put more accountability and transparency on carbon offsets..

As of December 2024, this legislator is no longer in office.
