Rep. Andy Kim's Office, representing New Jersey’s 3rd district, has released several statements addressing current political issues and humanitarian concerns. These tweets provide insights into the ongoing efforts and challenges faced by the community and broader policy impacts.

On March 25, 2025, Rep. Andy Kim highlighted the potential consequences of a recent decision by Trump's cabinet to eliminate FEMA. He referenced a specific project in Cape May, where "FEMA is set to work with NJ to build a new seawall." The removal of FEMA could adversely affect projects like this one designed to protect coastal areas. "Projects like this seawall to protect Cape May is just one example of how harmful that'd be."

In another tweet on the same day, Rep. Kim brought attention to the ongoing situation involving Elizabeth Tsurkov, a Princeton University student who was abducted in Baghdad while conducting research in March 2023. Kim emphasized solidarity with her family as they continue efforts for her safe return after 735 days in captivity: "Senator Kim stands alongside her family @emma_tsurkov to do all we can to bring Elizabeth."

Furthermore, Rep. Kim issued a statement condemning the Trump administration's decision regarding PEPFAR (the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief), highlighting his disapproval of allowing such programs to expire without renewal or replacement: "Senator Kim’s statement condemning the Trump administration for allowing PEPFAR to expire."
