Congresswoman Young Kim is proud to represent California’s 40th District, which includes parts of Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, in the U.S. House of Representatives. An immigrant, small business owner, community leader, mother and grandmother, she is proud to be one of the first Korean American women ever to serve in Congress and help all Americans have the chance to achieve their dream just like she did. 

As an immigrant to the United States, Congresswoman Young Kim has dedicated her life to giving back to her community. She started her public service as Director of Community Relations and Asian Affairs for former Congressman Ed Royce, where she was a key liaison to the district and advisor on issues pertaining to the Asian-American community and foreign policy. 

Prior to serving in Congress, Congresswoman Young Kim was the first ever Korean American Republican woman to serve in the California State Assembly. As an Assemblywoman, she fought to grow jobs, support small businesses, ensure public safety, promote educational opportunities, support veterans and protect victims of domestic violence.
