In recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week, Kim wrote, “Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I’m proud to be a public school kid representing NJ.

Later that day, Kim reported on his visit to Bridgeton, New Jersey to discuss affordable housing. He stated, “I spent time in Bridgeton, NJ to learn about the affordable housing needs of the community. I spoke with residents of the Phoenix Village community and toured Maplewood Gardens to learn about housing options and expansion in town. We must continue to invest in building more” (May 7, 2026).
Kim also addressed transportation infrastructure during his visit to Vineland. He posted, “I’m proud to be the first U.S. Senator from South Jersey in seven decades and I’m committed to investing in the region’s public transit system.
