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, , Youtube and Instagram.
I'm here to govern, not grandstand.
As long as the House is ground to a halt, we cannot pass bills, hold hearings, provide a check on the administration, and work to solve the real problems facing Americans.
Enough with the games. Let's get back to work for the American people.

The first Old Towne Film Festival at The American Legion Post 132 Orange, CA was a huge success! Thanks to all the participants who submitted entries and to the Orange Chamber of Commerce for your continued support for local businesses in our CA-40 Orange community.

Calling all CA-40 Middle and High Schoolers: The Congressional App Challenge is back!

California's pro-crime policy "reforms" should be a warning for the nation, not the model.
That's why I introduced a bipartisan bill to crack down on organized retail crime by boosting information sharing between federal, state, and local law enforcement.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world, accounting for 12.5% of new cancer cases worldwide and impacting 1 in 8 women in the U.S.
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we uplift survivors and those battling breast cancer, and we commit to working towards a cure.
The House passed a stopgap bill to keep our government running and ensure our military and border patrol get paid as we continue our work to rein in spending, secure our border, and protect our national security.
I’m not going anywhere and will continue fighting for common sense.

Total migrant encounters for FY23 to date have surpassed the total for all of FY22, setting a new record.
As long as this crisis goes unaddressed, the more our communities suffer. The Biden administration must take this crisis seriously so we can work on solutions.

Please be advised that repaving work will be done in phases and scheduled during weekday nighttime hours to limit impact. During this work, the northbound 241 Toll Road will remain open. Fire, police, and ambulance services will have access for emergency response, if needed. Pavement work on the Loma Ridge segment will commence on southbound 241 with weekly nighttime closures for several weeks. Crews will then shift to the northbound 241 for additional paving operations in mid-October. Following completion of work at Loma Ridge, crews will mobilize at the Windy Ridge segment in spring 2024.
As we head into the fall, I want to know what priorities matter most to you and how I can best serve you in Congress.
Take 30 seconds and fill out my Fall 2023 Priorities survey below.
We hope to ensure that all travelers are as prepared for international travel in 2024 as possible and encourage constituents to check their passport’s expiration date and apply for a new or renewal passport 9 months prior to travel.
Also, we recommend having your passport in hand before booking international travel. Many countries require six months of passport validity to enter, so we recommend applying 6-9 months ahead of expiration date or travel. Learn more about your destination at travel.state.gov/destination.
Due to an unprecedented volume, appointment availability is limited nationwide. Processing times are estimates and do not include mailing and internal routing process which can add up to two weeks.
If your pending application was filed with routine service, and you have upcoming travel, it may be in your best interest to upgrade to expedited service. Please dial (877) 487-2778 to upgrade to expedited service and shipping.
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 $22 million back to taxpayers from federal agencies.
If you need help with a federal agency, please reach out to my office. We’re here to serve you always.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Young Kim
