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'm excited to co-chair the bipartisan Maternity Care Caucus and work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to deliver for mothers, babies and families across the nation.

I’m ready to get to work!

I came to Congress to bring common sense to Washington, break through the partisan gridlock and get things done.

I am proud to serve on the Problem Solvers Caucus and will keep fighting to deliver results.

Wednesday was International Women's Day! Throughout Women's History Month, we honor women who blazed trails before us so we can have seats at the table, celebrate women making their communities better each day and commit to doing our part to help young women and girls achieve their dream.

Happy Women’s History Month!

I enjoyed meeting with Orange County dental students, including Roaa from Mission Viejo and Adam from Tustin in CA-40, to discuss repaying student loans and strengthening the doctor-patient relationship.

I recently introduced the bipartisan Understanding the True Cost of College Act to make college costs transparent.

Community health centers provide vital services to over 350,000 patients across Orange County each year.

I enjoyed meeting with the Coalition OC, including Providence Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo and AltaMed in Orange, and appreciate their work to support our CA-40 communities.

Private evacuation groups deserve our gratitude and admiration for their work to save lives of Americans and allies following the Afghanistan withdrawal.

These heroes are why we must keep working to share stories of what happened, get answers and prevent repeating the same mistakes.

As a former Girl Scout and troop leader for my daughters, I have seen firsthand how Girl Scouts help girls gain confidence, learn practical skills and become strong young women ready to take on the world.

I'm honored to introduce a resolution this week to honor Girl Scouts Day on March 12 and serve as co-chair of Troop Capitol Hill.

Great to tour Westamerica Communications, a top Southern California printing provider for over 40 years based in Lake Forest.

I caught up with their team about my experience as a small business owner and work to support small businesses in Congress.

Americans don’t want this and cannot afford it.

Thank you all for educating the community on our environment!

Honored to attend and lead the pledge of allegiance at the OC Business Council Annual Dinner and Installation of the Board of Directors.

I'm grateful for all that OCBC does to support our economy and Invest in OC!

At our Financial Institutions Subcommittee hearing I asked about CFPB’s rules making it harder for small businesses to access capital.

I'll keep working to reduce regulatory costs and support entrepreneurs pursuing their American dream, creating jobs and supporting local economies.

Congratulations to the BiG’s AL’s Pizzeria team on the opening of their new location in Orange. Thank you to the Orange Chamber, city leadership and Al himself for helping to bring this great business to Orange.

Be sure to stop by for a slice! 

Team Young enjoyed attending last week’s City of Villa Park, CA City Council Meeting to hear updates on the Hidden Jewel city and join in recognizing former mayor Rich Ulmer as a “Distinguished Citizen.”

Thank you for your service!

I spoke with Uyghur concentration camp survivors and am inspired by their bravery and courage to speak out and advocate for those still facing unthinkable human rights abuses, from forced labor and organ harvesting to brainwashing.

I will keep fighting to Stop the Uyghur Genocide.

Calling all high school students in CA-40!

The Congressional Art Challenge is up and running, submissions are due April 21, 2023. The winning artwork will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol!

On Sunday, we “Spring forward” and turn our clocks up one hour.

As Congress considers legislation to make daylight savings time permanent, I want to hear from you.

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
