Young Kim, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California’s 40th district, posted a series of statements on her social media account on January 3, 2026, addressing domestic legislative achievements and international political issues.
In a post published at 00:50 UTC, Kim referenced House Republican efforts in the previous year: “Results > rhetoric. @MikeJohnson is spot on. In 2025, House Republicans passed hundreds of bills, delivered historic tax cuts for working families, & put more money back in Americans’ pockets. In 2026, we will keep up the momentum.”
Later that day at 02:41 UTC, she commented on protests in Iran: “Brave Iranians are crying out against tyranny & for freedom. The United States stands with them. The Iranian regime cannot continue to silence their voices with violence & oppression. The Iranian people deserve the right to decide their own future.”
At 15:57 UTC on the same day, Kim addressed developments regarding Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro: “Maduro was a brutal dictator and indicted narco-terrorist responsible for flooding our country with deadly drugs and contributing to countless American deaths. The Venezuelan people have suffered under his illegitimate rule for long enough. I’m glad he will be held accountable”
Kim has represented California’s 40th District since replacing Gil Cisneros in 2021 and previously served in the California State Assembly from 2014 to 2016. Born in Incheon, South Korea in 1962 and currently residing in La Habra, she graduated from the University of Southern California with a BBA in 1985.
