Senator Andy Kim

A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family. Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones. I hope you’ll join me.

This weekend, I visited the Menlo Park Veterans Memorial Home in Edison, NJ, and spoke with veterans at the long-term care facility. 

It was wonderful to hear directly from residents about the care they receive and the programs they enjoy.

It was inspiring to spend time at the Abilities Expo in Edison, NJ, and meet with so many people with disabilities, as well as their families, caregivers, and advocates.
 
Now more than ever, we must stand up against the harmful cuts to Medicaid and disability programs, and ensure the millions of people with disabilities in NJ and across the country get the care they need and deserve.

Today, I met with small business owners in Middlesex County to learn about the issues they’re facing. They told me about frustrating red tape, unsustainable gas prices, rising costs, and harmful tariffs. 
These small businesses invest in our communities; we need to invest in them and make NJ the best place to grow opportunities.

This week, I met with Nokia Bell Labs to discuss how we can continue to make NJ a leader in technology and innovation.   I look forward to working with them to pair world-class research with all NJ has to offer, building an Einstein Corridor that attracts talent and investment.

Happy AANHPI Heritage Month, New Jersey! This month is a special opportunity for us to celebrate AANHPI individuals and their stories; to recognize and honor the rich history, culture, and contributions AANHPI communities have made to our country. I’m proud to be the first Asian American Senator from the East Coast and celebrate the AANHPI history that is fundamentally American history. Wishing you all a joyful and meaningful AANHPI Heritage Month!

These public servants never should have faced retaliation for raising the alarm and trying to keep us safe.

I’ve called for these whistleblowers to be reinstated and applaud their bravery and dedication in the face of attacks from this administration.

It’s a dedication that should be rewarded, and I encourage Secretary Mullin to continue to support them as they serve our communities.

The cost of this war is unbearable. $25 billion in the first 60 days.   Americans are paying for it, but they’ve had no say it.   I’m supporting @SenAdamSchiff’s War Powers Resolution to reign in Trump and end this war.

Listen to more of what I heard during my visit to the Rescue Mission of Trenton in the full video — out on YouTube now.

I spoke with Eli about the vital services organizations like the Rescue Mission of Trenton provide. Hear more from him — full video on YouTube now: youtu.be/v7Z1miWqOD4

My visit to the Rescue Mission of Trenton was incredibly powerful. Full conversation with Eli and the Rescue Mission – out now: youtu.be/v7Z1miWqOD4

Hear how DeShawn is giving back what the Rescue Mission of Trenton gave to him. Full video on YouTube now: youtu.be/v7Z1miWqOD4

This coming from the same Administration that threatened the destruction of an entire civilization... Not to mention the fact that Trump and Hegseth gutted the civil protection measures I fought for. They don't care about you or innocent lives abroad. It's disgusting.

It's been 60 days since Trump launched us into a war of choice without our say – and you're footing his massive bill.

"It's not a theory, it's transformation here." Listen to what I heard in my visit to the Rescue Mission of Trenton. Full video on YouTube now: youtu.be/v7Z1miWqOD4

Let’s call this out for exactly what it is: a corrupt scheme by Trump to manipulate the Fed to work for him, not you. Senate Republicans are helping him get away with it.

Employing the U.S. military in Cuba will do nothing to lower the price we’re paying at the pump or help people put food on the table. The last thing we need is Trump using our military for another foreign stunt — in our name but without our say.

Americans are already struggling to afford their lives. And gas prices just keep climbing from Trump’s Iran war – now the highest they've been in years. Tell me, how is this affecting your family?

Organizations like the Rescue Mission of Trenton are transforming lives and providing critical services to unhoused populations. I visited them to learn about their work and hear what challenges they face. We must continue to invest in care for every single New Jerseyan.

This is yet another ruling that weakens voting rights for all Americans. The Voting Rights Act has suffered death by a thousand cuts. We must stand up in Congress to restore voting rights and ensure everyone's voice is heard in our elections.

I love getting to start my day hearing from New Jerseyans about the issues on their mind.   Thank you to the @SussexREC, the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses, @SusanGKomen, @NBCCStopBC, and the American College of Emergency Physicians for joining our Capitol Coffee hour this week!
