Senator Andy Kim, representing New Jersey’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress since 2019, has recently addressed significant issues through his social media platform. Kim, who was born in Boston and resides in Moorestown, used his Twitter account to comment on both a recent attack and proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
On June 1, 2025, Senator Kim condemned an incident in Boulder, Colorado. He stated: “We must call today’s attack on members of the Jewish community in Boulder, Colorado exactly what it is: an act of terror.” The attack targeted individuals marching peacefully to raise awareness for those still held hostage following Hamas’ attack on October 7th.
The following day, June 2, 2025, Senator Kim turned his attention to SNAP funding cuts. He expressed disapproval over the proposed reduction: “Cutting SNAP by $300 billion and costing New Jersey up to $200 million is unacceptable.” He criticized changes that would alter eligibility requirements potentially affecting children and older adults.
Continuing on this topic later that day, he emphasized the importance of SNAP as a vital resource: “SNAP is not a waste; it’s an investment in the health of our state that I will continue fighting for.”
These statements reflect Senator Kim’s ongoing commitment to addressing both local and national issues from his position in Congress.
