Andy Kim Announces Endorsement from

Voting Rights Groups

MARLTON, NJ — Today, Congressman Andy Kim (NJ-03) announced the endorsement of the Voter Protection Project and Let America Vote, two organizations dedicated to ending voter suppression and making sure every American has access to the ballot.

“As an original co-author of House Resolution 1, Andy Kim has lead the charge during his time in Congress to restore integrity to our elections, protect our right to vote and expand access to the ballot for all,” said Matt Liebman, President Voter Protection Project

“Congressman Kim is already changing the way Washington works,” said Let America Vote and End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “His record in Congress has made it abundantly clear that he always puts people over special interests. His decision to refuse money from corporate PACs underscores that commitment. Whether it’s working to lower prescription drug prices, rooting out corruption or protecting the right to vote, Andy has been laser-focused on delivering results for families in the district. We look forward to re-electing Congressman Kim so that he can continue the incredible work he’s started.”

In addition to the Voter Protection Project and Let America Vote, Andy has been endorsed by the Transport Workers Union of America NJ State Conference, New Jersey Education Association (NJEA), United Steelworkers, Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters, SEIU New Jersey State Council, New Jersey Laborers Union (LiUNA), International Association of Sheet Metal, Air & Rail Transportation Workers (SMART), the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers (Boilermakers), the Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey (PFANJ), ATU New Jersey State Council, Ironworkers Local 399, UA Local 322, Plumbers, Pipefitters and HVAC Service Technicians, Teamsters Joint Council 53 and Local 676, the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers of New Jersey, the Communication Workers of America Local 1036 and Local 1032, The International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW), the New Jersey State Association of Letter Carriers, and the American Federation of Teachers New Jersey (AFTNJ). Andy also has the support of the American Postal Workers Union, the National Treasury Employees Union, the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, and the Air Line Pilots Association, among others.

Without taking support from corporate PACs, the campaign raised more than $1 million in the second fundraising quarter of 2020. The campaign has raised more than $4.3 million in the 2020 cycle, and currently has more than $3.5 million cash on hand. The campaign has put itself in a strong position to win what is widely expected to be one of the most competitive races in the country this fall. Of individual donations to Kim’s campaign, 90 percent were $100 or less, demonstrating continued grassroots support that helped him win in 2018.

Congressman Kim has been listed as part of the DCCC’s Frontline program and has been endorsed by government reform groups like End Citizens United PAC and the Patriotic Millionaires; national security and veterans groups like VoteVets, Serve American PAC, Foreign Policy for America, and Council for a Livable World; progressive groups like the League of Conservation Voters and Planned Parenthood Action Fund; and advocacy organizations like Brady PAC, Emgage Action and Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA), among other organizations.

Congressman Kim grew up in Marlton, NJ and lives in the district with his wife, Kammy, and two young children. He previously served as the Director for Iraq and the Counter-ISIS fight at the White House National Security Council and as a strategic adviser to top generals in Afghanistan.
