Senator Andy Kim, who has represented New Jersey’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress since 2019, posted a series of tweets on February 9, 2026, addressing issues related to state pride and federal funding decisions.
In a tweet from February 9 at 19:30 UTC, Senator Kim wrote, “Last night’s performance made New Jersey proud. The representation we saw on the field is the same representation we see reflected in our state. We are stronger when we come together and celebrate that.”
Later that evening at 22:26 UTC, he commented on labor disruptions tied to federal infrastructure projects: “Right now, a thousand workers are off the job because of Trump’s refusal to restore funding for the Gateway Tunnel Project. It’s past time to get people back to work.”
In another post at 23:12 UTC on February 9, Kim criticized what he described as unnecessary financial burdens linked to former President Trump’s actions: “Another ridiculous price tag that Trump is forcing you to pay. This is YOUR money. You deserve a government that works for you, not against you and your financial interests.”
Andy Kim began serving in Congress after defeating Tom MacArthur in 2019 and continues to represent his South Jersey district (source). Born in Boston in 1982 and currently residing in Moorestown, Kim has an academic background from Deep Springs College and the University of Chicago.
The Gateway Tunnel Project referenced by Kim is part of ongoing infrastructure debates regarding funding and job security for workers involved in large-scale transit initiatives along the Northeast Corridor.
