Korean-American Andy Kim won reelection in the House of Representatives elections that were held in conjunction with the presidential elections on the 3rd (local time).
The Associated Press predicted that at 12:15 a.m. on the 4th, Congressman Kim will win the House of Representatives election in the 3rd District of New Jersey that day, beating the Republican candidate who was the CEO of a large construction company. .
The Hill assessed that Congressman Kim had been attacked for being too liberal, but had benefited from the campaign fundraising. Local media, NJ.com, said Congressman Kim emphasized health services as in the 2018 midterm elections, which was the strongest issue during the new coronavirus infection pandemic (Corona 19).
Rep. Kim, the second generation of New Jersey-born Korean immigrants, entered federal parliament in the 2018 midterm elections, defeating active Republican Rep. Tom MacArthur. In a post posted on his social networking service (SNS) after the elections that day, Congressman Kim said, “I express my unrivaled gratitude for your support and trust,” though the count is still ongoing. Five Korean-Americans, including Congressman Kim, voted for the Congressional elections. Running in the Democratic Party were Congressman Kim, second-generation immigration attorney David Kim (Los Angeles) and Marylin Strickland (Washington state), a politician born to a Korean father and mother. It’s from the mayor of Tacoma, where Republican candidates Young Kim and Michelle Park Steele ran for Southern California. Both candidates are women.
According to the Associated Press, with the exception of Andy Kim, only candidate Strickland remains at the helm. The candidate Strickland leads the Republican candidate (41.7%) by 16.6 percentage points, with 58.3% of the vote progressed.
When candidate Strickland is elected, she becomes the first Korean-American woman in the House of Representatives. On the other hand, the remaining candidates are inferior.
