Standing Together for Change: The Alliance Endorses Andy Kim

WASHINGTON — Today, the AAPI Victory Alliance endorsed Representative Andy Kim for the U.S. Senate.

As a dedicated public servant and a trailblazer for the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, Andy Kim has consistently demonstrated unwavering commitment to progressive values, inclusivity, and effective leadership. His vision for a more equitable and prosperous future aligns perfectly with our mission to empower AAPI voices and advance social justice causes nationwide.

“On behalf of The Alliance, I am thrilled to announce our endorsement of Representative Andy Kim for the U.S. Senate. Andy Kim embodies the principles and dedication that the AAPI Victory Alliance stands for,” said Varun Nikore, Executive Director of AAPI Victory Alliance. “This is our first-ever federal endorsement, driven by our Board’s strong belief that we need a fighter like Andy in the U.S. Senate. His unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and the betterment of our communities makes him an exceptional candidate for the U.S. Senate. We are confident that his leadership will bring about the positive change our nation needs, and we are proud to endorse him in this pivotal election.”

“I’m the son of first-generation Korean immigrants who are the embodiment of the American dream, and who raised me to believe that service is a way of life,” said Congressman Andy Kim. “I am proud that if elected, I will be the first Korean-American Senator in the country, but it is just one step to create a more inclusive Democracy; I know AAPI Victory Alliance will be a key ally in furthering increased AAPI representation throughout all levels of government and I thank them for the support.”
