First Korean-American Woman Elected to US Congress in California
|Here is anecdote from this week’s US midterm elections:
Young Kim appeared certain to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday, becoming the first Korean-American woman to serve in Congress.
With 97 percent of the ballots counted, the 56-year-old Republican garnered 51.4 percent of the vote against 48.6 percent by Democrat Gil Cisneros in California’s 39th district.
If finalized, she will succeed outgoing Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
The only other Korean-American to serve in Congress was Jay Kim, a Republican who represented California’s 41st district from 1993 to 1999. [Yonhap]
You can read more at the link, but it should be no surprise that Young Kim is against President Trump’s executive order to end chain migration.
This is wonderful News to the Korean American community. Congratulations to Young Kim
“This is wonderful News to the Korean American community.”
No. This is shit news to the Korean-American community… if they are truly American.
All Americans lose with chain migration.
Cue up Teddy Roosevelt’s 1912 speech about hyphenated Americans…
