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, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram.

Americans agree that members of Congress should not be trading stocks and benefitting from insider information. 

This week, we delivered on that mandate by passing the Stop Insider Trading Act.

I am proud to co-sponsor this commonsense bill to clean up Congress and bring accountability back to Washington.

America's ironclad alliances are our greatest competitive edge.

I joined a congressional delegation to observe RIMPAC, the world's largest maritime exercise, and see firsthand how our service members and allies maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific. 

I introduced the STRATA Act to harness America’s greatest strengths: our innovation and our alliances.

By launching a Critical Mineral Innovation Initiative at the State Department and advancing technology with our allies, we can build smarter, more secure supply chains. 

It was an honor to celebrate the 2025 World Series Champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, at the White House!

As a proud Southern Californian, it was a joy to help recognize a team that brought our region together and gave fans across our district so much to cheer for. Congratulations to the Dodgers on a historic season!

Shipbuilding is a national security imperative and the future of free commerce.

For decades, Washington looked away while the CCP cornered the global maritime market.  

My FLEETS Now Act fixes that by rebuilding America's shipbuilding dominance.

This week, I participated in a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on United Nations accountability and reform, where we examined how to advance an America First foreign policy through strategic diplomacy at the U.N. 

I will keep fighting to ensure American taxpayer dollars deliver results and that our leadership on the world stage remains strong.

After nearly 9 months in CCP detention, Pastor Ezra Jin is FREE. Pastor Jin was imprisoned for preaching the Gospel and refusing CCP control of his church. 

I was honored to welcome him to my office. God bless Pastor Jin. Freedom of religion is always worth fighting for. 

One in three California community college applications have been flagged as likely fraudulent, and fraudsters have stolen $13 million dollars in state and federal funds in California alone.

I pressed FinCEN for answers and demanded accountability. I will keep fighting to protect taxpayer dollars and stop bad actors from exploiting programs meant to help students get ahead.

Stability in our hemisphere is directly tied to American security, and the American people deserve to know what progress is being made.  

During this week's House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, I pressed administration officials on efforts to train thousands of new Haitian National Police officers and on when Haiti's own security forces will be ready to restore order.

Great meeting with San Bernardino County Chairwoman Dawn Rowe! 

We are excited for the year ahead and continuing our strong partnership to deliver real results for San Bernardino families!

My office was proud to honor Johnny Johnson with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his dedicated service to the Tustin community.

Johnny has made many distinguished contributions with the Blue Buoy Family Swim School and the Tustin American Legion Post 227. 

We are forever grateful for his contributions to our community. 

Team Young was honored to celebrate the City of Aliso Viejo's 25th anniversary.

The City of Aliso Viejo is the 34th city in Orange County and celebrates 25 years of commitment to local governance and community pride.

Team Young was grateful to join Exer Urgent Care in their Ribbon cutting, hosted by the Orange Chamber of Commerce!

With over 60 facilities throughout Southern California, Exer Urgent care is a welcomed addition to our community.   

Great to celebrate 30th Anniversary of the Rancho Viejo Montessori and the grand opening of their Infant Care Room. 

Rancho Viejo has been serving our community since 1996, and we are excited to see what is in store for the next 30 years.

I am thrilled that Team Young has helped return over $33 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.

Sincerely,

Young Kim
