Working for New Jersey:

Pressing the FAA Nominee About Newark Airport, Celebrating Trenton Pride, and Speaking with Environmental Leaders 

PRESSING THE FAA NOMINEE ABOUT NEWARK AIRPORT: 

On Wednesday, Senator Kim secured commitments from President Trump’s nominee for Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Bryan Bedford, to prioritize the public’s concerns about flight safety at Newark Airport, and drone sightings late last year in New Jersey. 
 
At the nomination hearing, Senator Kim put New Jersey front and center to ensure that Bedford understood our worries, as well as the need for reform and transparency. 
 
Now more than ever, we must work together to build solutions, and the FAA plays a critical role in making sure that it is safe to fly in this country. 

SPEAKING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS:

This week, Senator Kim spoke at the League of Conservation Voters’ (LCV) Climate Victory Council Summit and talked about the ever-present threats from severe weather and climate change that New Jerseyans face.

Now is not the time to retreat from this challenge and groups like LCV are helping to lead the way so that we may continue to live in a world that is safe for all of our kids and families to grow up in.

SPEAKING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS:

Senator Kim was honored to attend Trenton Pride in celebration of New Jersey’s diverse LGBTQIAA+ community!

Working for you at the Capitol:

Re-Introducing the SEPSIS Act & Diving into Budget Reconciliation

RE-INTRODUCING THE SEPSIS ACT: 

Senator Kim joined Senators Schumer and Collins to re-introduce the SEPSIS Act, a bipartisan effort to prevent sepsis fatalities through increased early recognition, diagnosis, and treatment. Every year, we lose too many—hundreds of thousands of people—to preventable sepsis deaths. The time for action is now. Together, we can prevent further tragedy and save families from unbearable loss. 

DIVING INTO BUDGET RECONCILIATION:

Reconciliation: you might be hearing this word a lot or seeing it on the news, but what does it mean? Senator Kim released a new video this week that breaks down the reconciliation process and answers 3 questions that might be on your mind: 

1.  What is budget reconciliation? 
2. What is it used for?
3. How is it different from other pieces of legislation?

Watch and share the Senator’s full video here. 

Budget reconciliation hasn’t been around forever. It was introduced fifty years ago, and is a tool used by the Senate to fast-track budget bills with big policy implications—for good or for bad. In the past, Democrats have used budget reconciliation to pass the Affordable Care Act and lower costs for prescription drugs. Now, Republicans are trying to use this process to pass $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans while cutting healthcare for 16 million Americans. 

In the Senate, I’m continuing to fight for the things that matter most: healthcare for those who need it, food assistance for American families, and paths to afford college and other higher education opportunities.  

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.
