Greetings,

We hope you have had a great week! This was an exciting week across the district during our office’s Good Governance Week. At events, visits, and conversations with community members, Congressman Kim built off his tenets of accessibility, independence, civility, and service. It was a fantastic opportunity to bring the community together and highlight available support from our office and local federal agencies and organizations.

As always, we hope you find these updates and resources helpful.

Wrapping up July

As we mark the beginning of a new month, it is time for a check-in on our casework successes in July! We’re proud to share that this July we closed 363 cases and returned $2,190,770. So far this year, our office has returned $9,716,475 and closed 2,634 cases for our Burlington, Mercer, and Monmouth communities. During Good Governance Week, Congressman Kim called neighbors who we were able to help and talk about some of the good news from our casework assistance. We are excited to keep this work going in August.

And of course at the end of each month, we have the honor of highlighting another Service Spotlight! This July, we recognized Debbie and Ike of the Burlington County Tennis Association. Their service extends off the court into lifelong skills and community-building. Learn all about their incredible work here.

National Night Out in Willingboro

Congressman Kim joined neighbors in Willingboro on Monday night to celebrate National Night Out. Every year, neighbors and law enforcement come together as a community to build relationships, have some fun, and look ahead to how we can keep each other safe and healthy.

A Conversation with Congressman Kim and the League of Women Voters

Our Good Governance Week is the perfect time to talk about his work to rebuild trust in government, protect voting rights, and strengthen American democracy. Early in the week, Congressman Kim joined the League of Women Voters at Mercer County’s Lawrence Library to talk with community members about good government and protecting democracy.

Our office was proud to host an event with the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management to discuss FEMA disaster grants.

Speaking with Young Leaders at the Mid-Atlantic Political Intern Summit (MAPIS) at Rowan University

MAPIS at Rowan University brings together young leaders to build on their skills and passion for public service and government.
