Rhodes scholar, worked at DoS. Got elected as an outsider over a GOP incumbent IN 2018. Reasonably popular, not beholden to the NJ Dem Machine. Cleaned up after 1/06. He'd win my vote easily

Yep, he's also been outspoken about wanting to ban members of Congress from trading stocks and openly criticized Pelosi for defending the practice. Andy Kim is exactly the sort of millennial politician we should all want rising to more prominent positions and replacing corrupt dinosaurs.

I’m down with this guy. He personally got down on his knees and started cleaning up the shit the insurrectionists left all over the capital on Jan 6. This guy is a legitimate public servant.

Wonder if the party will once again protect a centrist incumbent from a progressive challenger.
