I was honored to represent the United States at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.

From my meetings and discussions, one thing is clear: the United States must lead with strength. Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and the growing Unholy Alliance are working relentlessly to overturn the world order. We won’t let that happen.

I look forward to bringing these insights back to Congress to strengthen vital alliances and ensure America—not Beijing—continues to set the standard for freedom and human dignity.

California families have seen energy bills nearly double over the past 15 years.

I’m proud to be leading the HEATS Act, which cuts unnecessary red tape, unleashes American geothermal energy, and helps lower costs for everyday Americans.

Children today face unique challenges—unprecedented academic disruptions, social isolation, and exposure to smartphones at an early age.

I’m leading a bipartisan resolution to raise awareness around children’s emotional health and start building a better path forward for our youth.

This week, I spoke with Punchbowl News about my priorities as an official congressional delegate to the United Nations General Assembly.

We discussed why America must push back on the Chinese Communist Party’s coercion, strengthen ties with Pacific Island partners, and ensure the United States—not Beijing—remains at the head of the table at the United Nations.

I met with the South Korean President to reaffirm the importance of the U.S.–ROK alliance. We discussed advancing our partnership and the need to stay united against growing threats from North Korea.

When the U.S. leads with strength, Putin comes to the table.

I was honored to meet with President Zelenskyy to discuss how to put pressure on the Kremlin and hold Putin accountable for his war.

As an official House delegate to the UN General Assembly, I met with U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea to discuss America’s top priorities at this year's session.

Indonesia is home to the world’s largest nickel reserves—critical for powering America’s future.

I met with leaders to discuss the importance of the U.S.–ASEAN relationship and opportunities to strengthen U.S.–Indonesia cooperation on critical minerals.

I met with Ambassadors Jeem Lippwe and Jackson Soram of the Federated States of Micronesia to reaffirm America’s commitment to our Pacific Island partners.

I met with Ambassador Ahmad Faisal Muhamad to reinforce our strong U.S.–Malaysia relationship. We discussed Malaysia’s leadership in helping broker peace in Southeast Asia and ways to boost economic engagement through ASEAN partnerships.

I was truly inspired to see so many outstanding young women join Orange County Fire Authority Girls Empowerment Camp.

We need all hands on deck to take on the wildfire challenges of tomorrow. I’m proud to see these future leaders already stepping up.

Excited to welcome RE:SET Scalp Care Head Spa to Orange County!

Founded by 3 friends, RE:SET is bringing innovation, wellness, and time-honored Japanese rituals to our community.

I am thrilled that Team Young has helped return over $32 million back to taxpayers from federal agencies.

If you need help with a federal agency, please reach out to my office. We’re here to serve you always.

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Young Kim
