Highlights from the endorsement include:
In a presidential election year when character seems to be of little concern to a large part of the electorate, Kim stands out even more. A career public servant and humble pragmatist, the current congressman and former diplomat will likely make a fine U.S. senator and has earned The Inquirer’s endorsement.
Kim represents a clean break with the Garden State’s oftentimes transactional form of politics, offering a campaign that’s focused on meeting the needs of his constituents, rather than fulfilling political agendas.
Kim, who would be the first Korean American elected to the Senate, has already made his mark on the federal government as a member of Congress. From health care to foreign policy, he is knowledgeable, insightful, and practical. While firmly within the mainstream of the Democratic Party, he’s been willing to work across the aisle, when possible, a major factor in his continued support in a Donald Trump-leaning district.
He also has realistic plans to help families in New Jersey and elsewhere deal with the rising cost of living. From boosting the child tax credit to helping small businesses access needed capital, Kim’s ideas represent key lifelines that can help people achieve the American dream.
…Kim is the more experienced candidate. He would be ready to contribute on Day One, no learning curve required. For a position as important as one of 100 senators, that is an important quality.
