Women Leaders From Across New Jersey Endorse Congressman Andy Kim for U.S. Senate
MOORESTOWN N.J. – Today, Congressman Andy Kim announced multiple endorsements of women leaders from all across the state in his race for the U.S. Senate. These leaders include women of all ages and backgrounds who recognize that Andy is the only candidate to be trusted to restore reproductive freedoms, fight for fair pay, improve access to affordable healthcare, and address the needs of New Jersey women overall.
Congressman Kim has been endorsed by the following:
“I am so happy to be joined by this statewide group of women Democratic Party leaders and so many other Democratic activists to support and help elect Andy Kim as our next U.S. Senator from NJ,” said former Senate Majority Leader, Loretta Weinberg. “We must keep the Senate blue and we need Andy Kim to represent our values. I look forward to adding even more accomplished women to this list as we move towards Election Day.”
“From reproductive freedoms to closing the gender wage gap, there is so much work to be done for the women of New Jersey at the federal level,” said Congressman Andy Kim. “I deeply appreciate former Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg and these incredibly accomplished women for offering their support to strengthen our coalition to make change in New Jersey and keep this seat blue in November, ensuring the women of our state have someone who will actually fight for them in the Senate.”
Congressman Kim has been a fierce advocate for reproductive freedoms, equal rights, and closing the gender pay gap. Following the 2022 Dobbs decision, Kim supported and voted for the Women’s Health Protection Act, the Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act, and the Right to Contraception Act. As the lead Democrat on the Military Personnel Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee, Kim has stood up for women in uniform, helping to protect reproductive freedoms through co-sponsoring the Access to Reproductive Healthcare for Service Members Act and has voted to strengthen protections for victims of sexual assault. A candidate who has proven he will champion women’s rights in the Senate, Andy has previously been endorsed by Planned Parenthood Action Fund, both the New Jersey and national chapters of the National Organization for Women, and by Reproductive Freedom For All.
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.
