On July 8, 2025, Young Kim addressed the issue of double taxation faced by Californians. She stated, “Californians have faced double taxation for too long.

Later that day, she highlighted a potential tax increase affecting families in California’s 40th district. In her tweet from July 8, 2025, she noted that “CA-40 families were at risk of a 17% TAX HIKE — $3,930 equal to 19 WEEKS of groceries for a typical family of four in our community.” She expressed her support for extending tax cuts for the middle class as part of her ongoing efforts to make life more affordable.
On July 9, 2025, Kim expressed gratitude towards local firefighters through social media.
