Part 3/8:
Andy Kim is among twelve new Senators—six Democrats and six Republicans—who will join the 119th Congress. This group reflects a significant shift in representation, as both Kim and his fellow New Jersey senator, Cory Booker, contribute to the state's trend of electing people of color to significant office. The new class of senators marks an era of diversification, with elections resulting in even greater inclusivity, such as the simultaneous victories of Lisa Blunt Rochester and Angela Alsobrooks as the first black women senators from Delaware and Maryland, respectively.
