Senator Andy Kim

Our first post from our new account! From little league to the U.S. Senate, thanks New Jersey for all the opportunities. I never developed that killer fastball but I promise I'll do better in the Senate. Follow my office account for info on our work serving NJ & our country. -AK

Cuts to public broadcasting will hit rural communities the hardest, stripping them of their ability to provide news, information, and emergency alerts to places that have no other local news stations. This is what Republicans took away from the people they serve as they voted to…

Yesterday, I toured solar panel installations in Pittstown, NJ, and met with some of the key people helping to make NJ a leader in the solar industry. Being a leader is important because it means better jobs for people in our state, and it helps us compete with countries like…

Education unlocks opportunity no matter your age. I hosted an adult education roundtable in Flemington, NJ this past weekend to hear direct stories about the impact federal budget cuts to education will have on families and communities. We must continue to stand up against this…

Last week, I met with Sasha Ustinova, Ukrainian MP, to discuss the latest on the war in Ukraine, and how the U.S. can continue to support our friends and allies. We need to hold Russia accountable for its war crimes and destruction in Ukraine. I reaffirmed my personal commitment…

Our opportunities with solar when it comes to jobs in our state and global competitiveness around the world are plentiful if we can reverse the damage of funding cuts that Republicans like Rep. Tom Kean Jr. have implemented.   Here's what this opportunity looks like on a solar…

Showing up is the only way we’ll continue to create a better world for ourselves and for our kids. Democrat, Independent, or Republican, I appreciate everyone who came out to our town hall today because they care about their community and the future of this country.

Today, I toured the Zufall community health center in Bridgewater, NJ and talked with both doctors and patients about the critical services they provide. Republicans’ vote to gut health care in the passage of the Big Disastrous Bill directly harms places like Zufall and the…

Close to 500 people showed up at our town hall in Westfield, NJ today! Thank you to everyone who came to share their thoughts and engage in the kinds of civil conversations we know still matter. I like to say that the opposite of democracy is apathy, and the overwhelming…

This week, I urged Sec. Kristi Noem to ensure FEMA is fulfilling its mission on behalf of the American people.   We've seen how harmful a lack of response can be, and we must be prepared to assist communities in times of crisis and prepare them to respond, whether it be to…

Our friendship with Japan is one that I value deeply. I had the pleasure of meeting with Ambassador Shigeo Yamada to discuss the U.S.-Japan relationship and opportunities to maintain and expand our alliance to support peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific, as well as to pursue…

New Jersey’s Congressional Democrats stand united in opposition of the Trump Administration’s decision to create a detention facility for undocumented immigrants at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

I had the opportunity to meet with students from my alma mater, @UChicago, who are interning in DC this summer. It was great to connect with smart, insightful young leaders and to hear what's been on their minds.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting with the Korean American Civic Empowerment's (KACE) high school intern class to discuss how we can empower the Korean American community through civic education, community engagement, and expanded opportunities across all sectors of…

Parents and working families are struggling under an affordability crisis being made worse by the Trump administration — many without any childcare options they can afford or reasonably get their kids to every day. That's why I'm proud to join the effort to tackle the childcare…

Last night, Senate Republicans abdicated their responsibility to the American people and put their loyalty to President Trump first. In voting to cut over $9 billion in foreign assistance and public broadcasting, Republicans went back on their word and clawed back funds they had…

The Trump Administration is going to incinerate enough food to feed 1.5 million children a week. Let it sink in that they're choosing to let 1.5 million children go hungry EVERY week.   The continued dismantling of USAID and foreign assistance is a disgrace.…

Retreating from the world is no way to lead. In our rapidly changing world, we need to have a seat at the table so we can shape a better future for our kids.   I'm in the Senate right now, urging Republicans to vote against over $8 billion in harmful cuts to foreign assistance.

I'm hosting a town hall at the Edison Intermediate School in Westfield, NJ on Saturday, July 19th to talk about the impact of the Big Disastrous Bill on our communities. I've invited @CongressmanKean to join me in answering questions from our shared constituents.

We just got new numbers on inflation: The price of food is up. The price of household supplies is up. The price of appliances is up. The price of clothing is up. The price of toys is up. Working families can't afford President Trump's policies.

Public broadcasting has enriched so many of our lives from providing us critical news and information to free, accessible entertainment for all ages.   The Senate must stand up to stop Trump's $1 billion cuts to these critical programs.
