Young Kim, U.S. Congresswoman representing California’s 40th district, published a series of posts on May 1, 2026, outlining her legislative priorities and political positions.
In a post at 14:44 UTC, Kim announced new legislation focused on shipbuilding: “Proud to introduce the FLEETS Now Act to strengthen America’s shipbuilding edge & counter China. My bill boosts U.S. & allied coordination creates a shipbuilding exchange program & appoints a Shipbuilding czar to lead the fight. America will lead in shipbuilding again.”
Later that day at 15:00 UTC, she addressed diversity policies in California: “I have always fought against backward DEI and affirmative action policies in California. Resilience, grit, tireless work, & results matter. That’s exactly what America stands for.”
At 18:00 UTC, Kim expressed support for law enforcement officers: “Backing the Blue isn’t just a slogan. It’s essential for safe communities. Our law enforcement officers work around the clock each day to protect us, & we must have their backs. I stand with our heroes & will always fight to give them the resources & respect they deserve.”
Kim has served in Congress since 2021 after replacing Gil Cisneros and previously held office 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.
