General Newsletter from the Office of Senator Andy Kim

Happy Friday, New Jersey! 
 
This past week, Senator Kim worked to push back on attempts from Congressional Republicans and President Trump to cut Medicaid and raise taxes on working families. He also had a chance to meet with New Jerseyans visiting the Capitol. If you’re planning on visiting Washington, DC and would like a tour of the Capitol, you can visit our tour new tour page on our website by clicking here.


WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU ABOUT TARIFFS:

Late last week, President Trump announced new taxes on goods coming into the United States that will raise prices on working families and have caused uncertainty for small businesses while driving the stock market down. As we’re seeing the fallout of these tariffs, Senator Kim would like to know: how would price increases from tariffs impact your family?

If you’re willing to share your opinion, please do here!

You can see more highlights below from this week’s work in New Jersey and DC:

Working for you in Washington

Working to Protect Medicaid and Pushing Back on Trump’s Chaos Around Tariffs

PUSHING BACK ON TRUMP’S CHAOS AROUND TARIFFS:

We are paying the price for Trump's tariffs. That’s why Senator Kim joined his colleagues in calling for a hearing to dive into their economic damage and full harm to working families, and to exercise congress' oversight duty on the Administration. You can learn more about these efforts here.

Senator Kim also joined some of his colleagues for a press conference to talk about how this whiplash on tariffs will continue to hurt Americans. You can read about it here.


WORKING TO PROTECT MEDICAID:

Protecting Medicaid shouldn’t be a partisan subject. Senator Kim believes it’s about making sure people have care and somewhere to turn when they need it most. He spoke about that with radio host Tavis Smiley this week. Take a listen to some of their conversation here.

Senator Kim also spoke on the floor of the Senate late last week about protecting Medicaid, including introducing a bill that would protect caregivers. You can watch his speech here.


WE ARE HERE FOR YOU:

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you in the United States Senate. It is an honor and a responsibility we do not take lightly. We know these are difficult times, and we will continue to fight for everyone across the state of New Jersey and stand ready to serve you however we can.

Sincerely,

The Office of Senator Andy Kim
