Kim Says He's Running For NJ's 3rd Congressional Seat Again

CHESTERFIELD, NJ — U.S. Representative Andy Kim (NJ — 3) kicked off his re-election campaign to hold that position for another 2 years at an event at Chesterfield Organic Orchards on Sunday.

"These last two years have been difficult on a lot of families and now, as prices are rising, there is a lot of uncertainty around our kitchen tables. I’ve spent my time in Congress working to lower costs for working families, and while I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished, there’s a lot of work still to do," he said.

Some of that "work" includes lowering prescription drug costs, ensuring veterans get their care and benefits, investing in ways to lessen the effect of climate change and having a government that works for all, according to Kim.

"Now is our moment and we can rise to meet the challenges of today, as long as we do it together," he said.

Four candidates have announced their plans to unseat Kim. They are:

• Nicholas Ferrara
• Bob Healey
• Reuven Hendler
• Ian Smith
