Weekly Newsletter From the Office of Senator Andy Kim

Dear New Jersey,

This week, Senator Kim was at the Capitol, fighting for the care movement and meeting with New Jerseyans about the issues on their mind.

Celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month This May

Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, New Jersey!

This month is a special opportunity for us to celebrate AANHPI individuals and their stories; to recognize and honor the history, culture, and contributions of AANHPI communities because AANHPI history is fundamentally a part of American history and who we are as a nation.

However you celebrate, we wish you all a joyous and meaningful AANHPI Heritage Month! 

Working for New Jersey

NEW: "Transformation, Not Theory" | Senator Kim Visits Trenton Rescue Mission

The Rescue Mission of Trenton is one of many organizations in New Jersey that provides services to unhoused populations. Their work spans from mobile outreach and emergency housing to sober living and permanent housing.

Funding cuts are devastating to the work they do and the people they serve. On a visit to their facilities, Senator Kim heard from employees at the Rescue Mission and a few recipients of their care. 

Watch Senator Kim’s conversations with Miquia, DeShawn, and Eli.

We must continue to invest in care for every single New Jerseyan. After his visit, Senator Kim reflected on what he saw and the actions he’s taking in Congress. WATCH HERE.

The Senator looks forward to working with them to pair world-class research with all New Jersey has to offer; building an Einstein Corridor that attracts talent and investment

Working to Create Opportunity for New Jersey Students

The Senator looks forward to working with them to create opportunity for students across New Jersey!

Lifting Up the Voices of Parents with Young Kids in Congress

Senator Kim is committed to doing everything he can to lift up the voices of parents with young kids—and of the Sandwich Generation—here in Congress. 

This week, he joined MomsRising and spoke about the challenges he faces caring for two young boys while also caring for his aging father who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year.

Fighting for a Cure for Alzheimer's, Investment in Medical Research

Senator Kim spoke with UsAgainstAlzheimer’s about the importance of investing in medical research that creates real breakthroughs. 
  
The Senator knows first-hand how important this is as he watched his father, a medical researcher who worked to find a cure for Alzheimer's, become afflicted with the disease himself.

Leading a Taskforce on Caregiving in Congress

Senator Kim knows how isolating being a caregiver can be. 

That's why he's proud to co-lead the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus’s (CAPAC) Caregiving Taskforce and work to deliver real solutions and relief for millions of fellow caregivers. 

You deserve to be heard and seen in this care movement. 

Strengthening the U.S.-ROK Alliance for a More Resilient Future

The Senator joined the GW Institute for Korean Studies to discuss the importance of the U.S.-ROK alliance in building a more resilient future.

We must lean into our strategic alliances, protect immigrant workers, safeguard universities as a hub of innovation, and develop economic partnerships with partners like South Korea.

Senator Kim heard from students and leaders in the room — this is how we’ll create opportunity and security for the next generation.
