Congressman Andy Kim Brings Grassroots Energy and Momentum to South Jersey; Draws Hundreds at Cape May Event
CAPE MAY ISLAND, N.J. – This week, Congressman Andy Kim was joined by local elected officials, community leaders, and over 200 Cape May County residents at the Cape May Science Center as he continues to expand his statewide grassroots coalition to bring integrity and a new generation of leadership to the United States Senate. This event is the latest example of Kim’s efforts to uplift South Jersey communities after recently completing a walking tour in Salem with Mayor Jody Veler to discuss housing, and going on a small business tour in Camden.
“I loved the incredible energy and enthusiasm in Cape May this week when I met hundreds of people across the political spectrum who are ready for a new generation of leadership,” said Congressman Andy Kim. “As someone who grew up in South Jersey and represented shore communities before in Congress, it’s an honor to see so many step up and join our statewide grassroots coalition. I’m excited to step up and become the first Senator from South Jersey in generations.”
“Cape May County families enthusiastically welcomed U.S. Senate candidate Andy Kim and congressional candidate Joe Salerno this past Thursday on Cape May island,” said Cape May County Democratic Chair, Marie Blistan. “By the end of the night, those attending applauded Andy Kim’s experience, family values, advocacy work for civil & human rights, and the progress he has been able to make for veterans, small businesses, seniors, the LGBTQ+ community, and women’s reproductive freedoms as a leader in Congress! The packed audience welcomed the change for the U.S. Senate & congressional seats, and we look forward to working with our next U.S. Senator Andy Kim and Congressman Joe Salerno! “
As a son of immigrants and a graduate from New Jersey public schools, Congressman Andy Kim has been proud to represent his home community in Congress. Andy is a young father of two little boys and represents a new generation of leadership stepping up to fix our broken politics. As a former national security official, Andy previously advised President Obama on counterterrorism and worked for four-star generals in Afghanistan.
Andy went on to win a congressional district that Trump won twice by defeating three consecutive self-funding republican millionaires. In his three terms in Congress, Andy has worked hard to lower costs for New Jersey families, help support small businesses through challenging times, and has battled House Republicans in the fight to restore protections for women in the aftermath of the 2022 Dobbs decision. Andy is now stepping up to run for Senate to fight against corruption and restore integrity to public service.
