Congressman Andy Kim Marks the Beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Month
MOORESTOWN N.J. – As New Jersey and the country mark the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month, Congressman Andy Kim has released the following statement:
“As we begin National Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor Hispanic communities across New Jersey who add to our diverse melting pot, and thank them for their contributions to the success of our state,” said Congressman Andy Kim. “At the same time however, we also must ensure that the necessary work is being done to support and listen to these communities to make sure their voices are heard; it is by having real conversations and listening that we will continue to build a better New Jersey together and make tangible change. Traveling across the state this year, I’ve spoken with Hispanic communities from Paterson and Perth Amboy to Newark and Trenton, to hear first-hand about their struggles and what needs to be done at the federal level. I will continue to meet people where they are so I can best deliver for them for years to come, in the Senate.”
As a son of immigrants who is married to an immigrant, 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.
