Welcome to Catch Up With Young Kim, my weekly e-newsletter to get you the latest on my work for you in Congress.
My team and I are here to serve you. If you ever need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office. I also encourage you to receive real-time updates on my work for you in Congress by following me on Facebook, , Youtube and Instagram.
Governor Newsom allowed 17,000 commercial driver's licenses to be illegally issued in California, inviting lawlessness and abuse to our doorstep — and putting Californians in danger.
American lives have been lost because of this negligence. I’m calling Newsom out and demanding immediate corrective action. California deserves competence, not chaos.
The CCP is trying to play the long game: influence young minds early, and control America’s future. We won't let that happen.
This week, I spoke in support of the PROTECT Our Kids Act, which sets a simple but necessary guardrail to prevent this threat. If a school chooses to host a CCP-funded Confucius Classroom, they can count on ZERO taxpayer dollars backing it.
Community banks know their customers, keep capital local, and help small businesses grow. We can’t let Washington rep tape tangle them up.
In this week's House Financial Services hearing, I pushed regulators to ease overly strict capital rules so local lenders can keep driving growth on Main Street.
This week, the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted to advance my bipartisan bill to crack down on illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing that threatens global food security and devastates coastal economies.
With nearly half of these illegal vessels tied to the People's Republic of China (PRC), we must step up where Beijing won’t. I will keep pushing to hold the PRC accountable and protect vulnerable fisheries worldwide.
Burma’s military junta has created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. More than 6,000 killed, 20,000 detained, and 3.5 million displaced
We must ensure that no U.S.-backed dollars flow to a brutal regime that cannot be trusted to help its own people.
I'm working with Rep Nikema Williams to ensure Burma's military junta doesn't see a single taxpayer dollar. Our No New Burma Funds Act passed the House this week.
Watch me speak in support of this legislation HERE.


Our servicemembers give so much. We should always have their backs.
I was honored to join volunteers and families coming together to make sure our soldiers feel supported this Thanksgiving. I will always fight for our troops.
Thank you to For Families of Active Military and Bridget Gregory Blehm for spearheading this important effort each year!
Thank you to Mayor Pro Tem Jordan Wu for organizing every year, as well as Mayor Nicol Jones, Mayor Janice Lim, Councilman Robert Frackelton, Richard Nixon Foundation, Orange County Sheriff's Department, and the cities of Villa Park and Yorba Linda for bringing our community together to lift up those who serve.
The holidays are about community, gratitude, and service to others.
I was grateful to join OC Food Bank’s National Family Volunteer Day to pack meal boxes for friends and neighbors across Orange County. So proud of our community!
