Say its name

Andy Kim for Congress     I want to update you on the fight to end the opioid epidemic. It doesn't always get prime time attention on the news, but it continues to hollow out communities nationwide, including in my home district of NJ-03. People are dying. In fact, at least one p…

They’ll try anything

Andy Kim for Congress     Our democracy is in danger. For the last several years, a divisive, toxic style of politics has taken root – a scorched-earth authoritarian approach to government that brands any person or system that opposes it as illegitimate – and disposable. We've …
