A Tenacious Campaigner, Kim Has Amassed a Large War Chest with Over $4 Million Cash-On-Hand Available in 2026 Primary Dollars
Anaheim, California – Today, Rep. Young Kim announced she will be running for re-election in California’s new 40th Congressional District that spans parts of Orange and Riverside counties. Kim is one of the most prominent Republican fundraisers in Congress and has a proven record of winning tough primary and general election races, most notably winning a seat Joe Biden won by 10.6% in 2020. She begins the campaign with nearly $5 million cash-on-hand and with over $4 million available for the June 2026 primary.
This cycle, Kim has broken personal fundraising records, raising over $5 million cycle-to-date with over 42,500 unique conservative grassroots donors. This surge of support shows voters want a proven America First champion like Kim to take the fight to the radical Democrats and help President Trump unleash the Golden Age and undo Joe Biden’s disastrous legacy.
Kim currently represents nearly 175,000 registered voters in the new 40th district: approximately 35% of total registered voters and over 42% of all high-propensity Republican voters. Kim is also the only current California Member of Congress representing both Orange and Riverside counties, giving her strong, broad-based support heading into the election.
“Liberal Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Joe Biden have failed California and the country. We’ve seen open borders, soaring prices, and rampant crime in our communities. Now, in order to cling to power, these failed career politicians made partisan deals behind closed doors to redraw districts in ways that help themselves and their allies instead of the voters,” said Young Kim.
“I’m running because California needs proven fighters who will stand with President Trump to advance a bold America First agenda that restores law and order in our communities, strengthens our national security, and protects the American Dream for future generations.”
“Our team is battle-tested, ready, and all in. We’re prepared to run a vigorous campaign to earn the trust and support of each voter in the new 40th district,” added Sam Oh, Kim’s general consultant. “Young Kim has a strong record of working with President Trump and delivering on an agenda that puts American workers, families, and values first.”
