ICYMI: Congressional App Challenge Winner Announcement
We also want to take a moment to celebrate our district’s winner of this year’s 2024 Congressional App Challenge! Krithik from Lenape High School created “Neurowheel” to allow users to control an electric motorized wheelchair using brain signals sent through an electroencephalogram (EEG) headset, letting a user simply imagine a movement in order to direct the wheelchair. The app’s primary goal is to give people with neuromuscular disorders, like ALS, spinal cord injuries, or stroke victims, greater mobility with this hands-free system.
Congratulations Krithik and thank you to our judges and every student who took part in this year’s competition! Over his six years in Congress, Congressman Kim has been impressed and inspired by the passion and hard work students put into these projects. This year was no different.

LAST DAY of Medicare Open Enrollment
Until tomorrow, you can head to medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE to look over coverage and compare options to make sure you have a plan that’s right for you!
Through the Inflation Reduction Act, Congressman Kim is proud to have helped cap insulin costs at $35/month for seniors on Medicare and deliver critical savings on their prescription drug costs.
REMINDER: Departing Member Notice
As a departing member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Kim will no longer represent New Jersey's 3rd Congressional District. Due to the varying length of time needed to resolve casework, constituent service, and/or grants assistance requests, our office stopped accepting new requests as of Monday, November 11th and closed our physical offices in New Jersey and at the Capitol. Our team will continue working remotely full-time.
Please feel free to contact us to see how we can assist and/or refer matters appropriately or request assistance from Senator Cory Booker’s office.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you every day!
Have a wonderful weekend,
The Office of Congressman Andy Kim
