Part 1/8:
Senator Andy Kim's Historic Election
In an inspiring moment for the Asian-American community and indeed for all Americans, Andy Kim made history by becoming the first Korean-American senator elected to the United States Senate. He represents New Jersey and adds to the state's long tradition of electing Democrats to the Senate, a streak that has not seen a Republican victory in a Senate election since 1972. With approximately 2,000 individuals having held this esteemed position throughout America’s history, Kim acknowledged the weight of the opportunity bestowed upon him and expressed deep humility for being part of a narrative that remains largely unwritten for Korean-Americans.
