Today, Congressman Andy Kim released the following statement in response to Governor Phil Murphy’s appointment of George Helmy to represent New Jersey in the U.S. Senate.

“Having led Senator Booker’s state operations for a number of years, George Helmy knows how to navigate the Senate and can step in immediately to keep delivering services for our state. That’s incredibly important experience with so many challenging issues facing our state and our nation. I look forward to working with him in the Capitol.”
