“Ocean County and the State of New Jersey need a seasoned leader to navigate these stormy seas; it’s why we’re proud to endorse Andy Kim to be our next Senator,” said Pat Kennedy, President of the Democratic Club of Waretown. “We know Andy because he represented us in Congress for four years. He showed up when others wouldn’t, delivered when others couldn’t, and won races nobody thought possible. He’s the real deal. We know him and we trust him to do the right thing for us in the Senate. Because of that, we will work as hard as we can to make sure he’s our nominee this June.”

Additional voices of support from Ocean County include:

“Six years ago, I won a Congressional district that many said was impossible for a Democrat to win because it included Ocean County, the most Republican part of New Jersey,” said Kim. “I won because we built a campaign focused on delivering real results for the people. I’m proud to have the support from so many people in Ocean County who saw my work in action and can show the rest of New Jersey what we can get done together.”

Congressman Andy Kim is a three-term Member of Congress first elected in 2018 and is the first Asian American elected to federal office from New Jersey. In 2018 and 2020, Kim defeated two self-funding millionaires in a district carried by former President Trump, and in 2022 he defeated his third self-funding millionaire opponent by 12 points.

In Congress, Kim said he has worked hard to lower costs for New Jersey families and help support small businesses through challenging times, including helping with the rebuilding process after Super Storm Sandy. Kim noted that he has also been a leading champion in fighting against corruption in our broken politics.
