Andy Kim

New Jersey Senator, public servant, and dad to two troublemaking little boys. Whether you voted for me or not, you’re my boss, I’m here to serve you.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

We just won our Senate race! As a son of immigrants, a public school kid, I never could’ve imagined I’d get to serve as a US Senator. I’m deeply humbled and grateful to NJ and for everyone who got us here. I promise I’ll serve with honor and integrity as a public servant for all.

My MediKids proposal would help fix an issue all American families care about: getting their children the healthcare they need. Universal care for our kids would take the burden off families struggling with high costs and keep them healthy as they grow older.

The American people last week told us that they want bold change to turn our country around. This is the change we need.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Thanks @maddow and @jonstewart for covering MediKids! There are over four million kids without health insurance, tens of millions without adequate coverage. My MediKids bill would give coverage to every kid so no parent has to worry about affording healthcare for their children.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Whether they were 100 years old or young first-time voters, we saw huge turnout from Asian Americans in key states like Georgia and Texas.

But we can’t take their votes for granted. We have work to do to deliver the lower costs these communities deserve.

New Jersey is sending our best to Congress in @ZMullock. He’s a proud local mayor and public servant which is exactly the leader America needs. I’m proud of him and excited to have another partner from South Jersey in Washington!

Rep.-elect Zack Mullock (D-NJ) says he didn’t realize he had a shot in his race against Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) until August. He was shocked about his own win.

“Probably, I know less than any other elected official in that building. I had to Google the salary of a congressperson just two days ago,” Mullock said.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

NYTimes today just listed my MediKids bill as one of the 8 big and bold ideas that the new Congress should pass! Let’s make America a country where no child is ever denied care and no parent ever has to worry if they can afford that care.

I met with young voters across the country who were tired of broken status quo politics and wanted a new generation of leadership that would focus on their future. The new class of Democrats coming to Congress next year are younger, more diverse, and have a different vision for politics that can help move us forward.

We need to continue pushing that vision, but more importantly, we need to actually show that we're willing to fight for a future young people can afford. That means using our new majorities in Congress to pass legislation for healthcare, affordable housing, and AI safeguards. Let's get to work.

Younger voters chose Democrats in House races by more than 30 percentage points, polling shows, with those under 25 selecting Democrats by more than a 2-to-1 margin. https://t.co/mxqm4D0jbu

Once there was a man named Mike who did a job at the Capitol. Now he’s gone.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

It’s great to celebrate these wins, but we have to remember why we won. These historic results are a cry for help from millions of American families that are struggling. Families hurting from Trump’s war and tariffs that have raised costs, from the gutting of health care. We have to remember why we have this opportunity to lead and need to focus on what we can do to tangibly help these families.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Dreams really do come true

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Thank you all for giving us this experience of waking up today with hope. You took democracy into your own hands and stepped up to speak out against Trump’s lawlessness and corruption. But this is about more than just fighting against Trump. Voters stepped up for a new vision of politics where public servants work for the people to secure the future their families deserve. This is about building a future where every child, every senior, and every family can get the healthcare they need. Where our tax dollars go towards healthcare and housing, not wars and corruption. And where the American people can trust that Washington is working for them, not the billionaires or special interests. 

I’ve always said election day is the starting line, not the finish line. The American people have voted us into power, but it’s our job to do something with it. Let’s get to work.

Congratulations @JulianaStratton! I’m so proud of you for stepping up to represent the great state of Illinois in the Senate. I got to know Juliana during our time together in Chicago, and I know Illinois is sending one of its best to join me in the Senate next year. I’m excited to work with you to further the caregiving agenda our country needs right now.

[Juliana Stratton @JulianaStratton]

A year and a half ago I stood before you and promised that if you sent me to the United States Senate, I would fight tooth and nail for you. I promised that I would bring a bold new vision to Washington and not give Donald Trump an inch. 

Well, you held up your end of the bargain, and now I’m ready to hold up mine. I am incredibly proud to stand before you today as the next U.S. Senator from the great state of Illinois. 

This moment is about more than any one of us. It’s a mandate for change, for bold new leadership, and to put our country back on the path towards progress and prosperity. You’ve entrusted me with a monumental responsibility, and I don’t take it lightly. But I’m ready. 

Let’s get to work.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]
