Hello, I hope that you’re doing great.

This week I had the opportunity to spend time with Andy Kim, who is running to be the next U.S. Senator from the Garden State. I’ve known Andy for years; he’s a man of integrity.

“I didn’t know I was going to run for the Senate. But I heard Bob Menendez say, ‘I’m not going anywhere’ and it offended me. It’s not his job. It’s the people’s job. And I knew I had to run to get Bob out and give the people a real choice.”

Since Andy declared, people have been rallying to his side. More than 80% of New Jersey voters regard their political leadership as corrupt. But they sense in Andy the opposite; an earnest public servant who spent nearly a decade in the State department before running for Congress and winning in a red-leaning district on the Jersey Shore.

“No one thought I could win” that first Congressional race, Andy relates. “I just got out there and talked to voters and wound up winning a very tight race. 4 years later I won by double digits.” It turns out that most people just want a workhorse legislator working for the people.

Now, he’s taking on an even bigger challenge running statewide. “I’ve been criss-crossing New Jersey introducing myself to voters who don’t know me as well. The energy has been electric everywhere I have gone. People are tired and want a new generation of leaders who they actually believe are in it for the right reasons. We deserve better leadership. How is it that in a country of 330 million people we can’t find 535 people to fill these jobs who aren’t corrupt or self-serving?”

Andy is motivated by his young family. “My parents immigrated here 50 years ago for a better life. Now are we going to leave a better life for our kids? That’s what drives me. The hardest part of doing this job is spending time away from my kids. But I decided that I may not be the ‘tuck my kids in every night Dad,’ I’m going to be the ‘I did everything I could to fight for their future’ Dad.”

A dedicated public servant like Andy would certainly be a dramatic turn from Bob Menendez, who has become an emblem of insider corruption. Andy is as upright as it gets. His campaign is a tremendous opportunity to turn the page on politics as usual in New Jersey.
