Congressman Andy Kim Wins New Jersey’s Democratic Senate Nomination

LAWRENCE N.J. – Congressman Andy Kim has released the following statement in regards to today’s Primary victory where he secured the Democratic nomination for US Senate. Andy will now move on to the General Election which will take place on November 5, 2024.

"Our win today is a stunning victory for a people-powered movement that mobilized against corruption and stood up to the machine politics of New Jersey. I took the chance to run for Senate eight months ago on the belief that people are fed up with our broken politics and are ready for a new generation of leadership fighting for change. What I found is that there is a deep hunger ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM for a different kind of politics grounded in integrity and public service that aims to rebuild trust.

Our work is just beginning. New Jersey has a choice: the chaos and corruption of Bob Menendez and Donald Trump, or a politics that works for families struggling to get by. New Jersey deserves better, and I'm ready to take our movement for change to the U.S. Senate."

In his three terms in Congress, Andy has worked hard to lower costs for New Jersey families and help support small businesses through challenging times. Andy has also been a leading champion in fighting against corruption in our broken politics.
