Senator Andy Kim, representing New Jersey’s 3rd District in the U.S. Congress, shared a series of important messages on April 7, 2025, addressing issues such as wage disparity, international tragedy, and healthcare access.

On April 7, 2025, Kim highlighted the wage gap faced by AANHPI women in the United States. "On average, AANHPI women make 83 cents for every dollar made by a white, non-Hispanic man. When you break that down further, many face as wide of a gap as 48 cents to the $1. On AANHPI Equal Pay Day, we recognize this injustice as we work to close the wage gap for good."

Later the same day, Kim addressed a somber event involving a young Palestinian-American. In a statement regarding "Amer Mohammad Saada Rabee, a 14-year-old Palestinian-American from Saddle Brook, NJ killed in the West Bank." Kim expressed grief and concern over the incident.

In another post, Kim emphasized the importance of Medicaid, urging a bipartisan approach to healthcare. He maintained that "Protecting Medicaid shouldn’t be a partisan subject. It’s about making sure people have care and somewhere to turn when they need it most."
