NOW NJ PAC – RECOMMENDS TO NATIONAL NOW PAC _ ENDORSE ANDY KIM

NOW-NJ PAC recommends the endorsement of Andy Kim in the Democratic primary to NOW NATIONAL PAC for the U.S. Senate seat from New Jersey. The NOW-NJ PAC makes this recommendation for endorsement based on interviews conducted with the Democratic front runners, Andy Kim and Tammy Murphy, seeing them in candidate forums, and researching their work and/or voting record.

While NOW-NJ PAC would prefer to endorse women candidates, in this case, NOW-NJ PAC strongly believes that Congressman Andy Kim has demonstrated his commitment to the core issues espoused by NOW and is the best Senatorial candidate. Andy has worked tirelessly for pay equity and reproductive rights, as well as for affordable and equitable health care. Andy has also focused on the issues of climate change, the opioid epidemic, and supports legislation to restore the state and local tax (SALT) deduction. Through Andy’s ability to work within the Congress to get things done and his dedication to the people of our state, and indeed, to this country, he has earned this recommendation for endorsement: Andy has also focused on the issues of climate change, the opioid epidemic, and supports legislation to restore the state and local tax (SALT) deduction. Seeing Andy cleaning the floor of the Capitol after the January 6th insurrection, sends a message of humility and caring to us all. Significantly, NOW National PAC has endorsed Andy three times before in his Congressional campaigns. Of special note, Andy will make Senate history as the first Korean American Senator. Andy’s vision for our country brings us hope and is based on concrete plans for a better tomorrow for girls and women.

Andy’s leading opponent, Tammy Murphy, would undoubtedly work very hard in the Senate and is on the right side of most issues, however, she does not have the Congressman’s track record. So, while we believe that Murphy would be a fine senator, between the two candidates, Andy is clearly the better choice in our opinion. Andy has a strong track record of supporting NOW’s values and we trust him.

Therefore, NOW-NJ is thrilled to recommend the endorsement of Andy Kim to the U.S. Senate.
