WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsement of Rep. Young Kim to represent California’s Fortieth Congressional District. The U.S. Chamber endorses candidates for federal office who will stand up for free enterprise, including by vigorously advocating for public policy solutions that will spur economic growth, support jobs, and promote businesses of all sizes’ ability to continue to innovate and invest in America.

“The U.S. Chamber is pleased to announce our endorsement of Congresswoman Young Kim for California’s 40th congressional district,” said Ashlee Rich Stephenson, Senior Political Strategist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “Congresswoman Kim supports pro-growth policies that allow businesses to thrive, and she’s been a leader in advocating for bipartisan solutions that’ll reduce retail crime and hold criminals accountable.  We are proud to stand with Congresswoman Young Kim and look forward to working with her in the 119th Congress.”

“Our small business owners are the backbone of our communities, creating jobs and growing our local economy. Policies from Congress should make entrepreneurs’ lives easier, not harder,” said Rep. Kim. “I’m proud to receive the endorsement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for my support for commonsense policies to empower small business owners and cut regulatory costs. I’ll keep fighting to protect the American dream for future generations.”

“Young Kim has been a steadfast advocate for pro-business policies and economic development that support the strength and resilience of Orange County’s economy,” said Amanda Walsh, Vice President of Government Affairs at Orange County Business Council. “Her leadership in advancing initiatives that benefit our local businesses and ensure a favorable environment for economic growth is invaluable. We are thankful for her continued efforts to champion the interests of our businesses and create opportunities for the region’s economic development to thrive.”

“Congresswoman Young Kim stands up for small businesses by supporting policies that reduce taxes and regulations and crack down on retail crime” said Frank Stefano, owner of Stefano’s Golden Baked Hams in Yorba Linda, CA.  “She’s a hard worker who’s not afraid to reach across the aisle to get things done; we need more like her in Congress.”
