Welcome to Catch Up With Young Kim, my weekly e-newsletter to get you the latest on my work for you in Congress.

My team and I are here to serve you. If you ever need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office. I also encourage you to receive real-time updates on my work for you in Congress by following me on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram.

I was honored to speak at Mission Viejo City Council meeting and join in recognizing Mission Viejo’s Noncommissioned Officer of the Quarter and Marine of the Quarter.

We are so grateful for your service.

Team Young helped celebrate the grand opening of Lendistry's new office in Tustin!

One of the top ten PPP lenders in 2021, Lendistry will continue providing economic opportunities for small business owners throughout Orange County.

It was a pleasure for Team Young to be at Villa Park’s Lunar New Year Celebration.

Big shout out and special thanks to the VPSS Foundation, Villa Park High School Vietnamese Student Club and the North Orange County Chinese School for putting this together for our Villa Park community!

I was so amazed by the innovation and promise of Smart Cups here in CA-40.

Thank you to owner Chris Kanik for showing me your business and getting to meet the team! Huge potential with your invention to help improve the beverage industry to become more sustainable and help so many through its humanitarian application.

Thank you to the Orange County Public Affairs Association for hosting the Orange County State of the County luncheon and to Supervisor Don Wagner for his presentation.

Great things are happening here in Orange County and I look forward to keeping our communities safe and thriving.

I’m glad that Congress came together to unanimously vote to condemn the CCP’s action and show that we will get answers.

We know the high-altitude surveillance balloon was directly orchestrated by the CCP to test the resolve and the leadership of the United States in the world.

We must continue our momentum to reunite Korean Americans with their war-torn loved ones in North Korea before it’s too late.

I am proud to lead a bipartisan resolution to demonstrate united support for making long-overdue reunifications a reality.

This week, I joined Reps. Haley Stevens (MI-11), Jim Baird (IN-04) and Don Beyer (VA-08) to introduce the Data Science and Literacy Act of 2023 (H.R. 1050), a bipartisan bill aiming to support science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education efforts.

STEM education expands opportunities for students, grows our economy, strengthens our workforce across industries and boosts our nation’s global competitiveness.

Attention CA40: please be careful when purchasing firewood, as our community’s Oak Trees are suffering from an infestation of Goldspotted Oak Borers.

Help us mitigate the death of our beautiful Oak Trees and prevent future wildfire fuel by reviewing the attached brochure from Orange County Fire Authority.

Reminder to check your passport expiration date as you prepare for travel plans this year! Passport services estimate 8-11 weeks for routine processing.

If you need any assistance, please call my office at (714) 984-2440 or submit a casework request.

I am thrilled that Team Young has helped return over $19 million back to taxpayers from federal agencies.

If you need assistance, please give us a call at (714) 984-2440. We are here to serve you always.

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Young Kim
