Greetings,

We hope you had a great week! Summer brings some stubborn heat, but this year it also brings the Summer Olympics. In just one week, we are excited to cheer on a great group of New Jersey Olympians and all of Team USA competing in the Paris games. We are already proud of the incredible accomplishments of these local athletes.

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

Congressman Kim Visits Maher Terminals in Port Elizabeth

New Jersey’s ports are critical to our local economy, jobs, and the global marketplace. This week, Congressman Kim visited Maher Terminals, the largest port operator at Port Elizabeth, to discuss the importance of continuing to invest in our shipping infrastructure and support the cargo workforce.

Congressman Kim Meets with Army Corps of Engineers

This week, Congressman Kim spoke with a group of Army Corps of Engineers civilians about a wide range of topics, including his legislative work to support our armed forces, local work the Army Corps is doing to combat erosion and flooding issues in our state, and the importance of valuing public service throughout different levels of government work. It was great to get to know this group and talk through what was on their minds!

Two Year Anniversary of the 988 Lifeline

This Tuesday marked two years of the 988 Lifeline. Congressman Kim supported the 988 Lifeline in Congress to take a crucial step in ensuring everyone can access essential mental healthcare when they need it most.

It's important to remember that anyone across the country can dial 9-8-8 for free, confidential support available 24/7. Congressman Kim is committed to addressing mental health needs in our community and building off this progress to expand affordable and comprehensive access to care.

Shedding Light on Hunger and Community Needs

Hunger too often goes unseen, but from our kids to veterans it's around us. Congressman Kim has prioritized tackling hunger in Congress, including through his Summer Meals REACH Act to expand children’s access to nutrition assistance over the summer and his Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act to protect the SNAP benefits families rely on to put food on the table.

Many families first experienced hunger during the pandemic, but are still struggling today. The impact of COVID-19 relief demonstrates the clear need for permanent solutions. From defending programs like SNAP, lowering everyday costs, and looking out for the needs of local food pantries and programs tirelessly serving our state every day, we are working to end hunger and deliver more vital help to New Jersey families.
