About this key endorsement, Mammano stated, “We are excited to receive a formal
endorsement from Andy Kim, whose humanity and passionate service in Congress exemplify
what it means to serve as a representative by and for the People in our democracy.”

“He has truly been a bright light for our district during a first term marked by unprecedented
national upheaval and divisiveness. As candidates, we hope to emulate the dedication he
brings to his role as a public servant,” Kono added.

“The transparency and accountability Mr. Kim has made a hallmark in his service to our nation
