Major Orange & Riverside County Republican Leaders Back Kim for CA-40
Anaheim, California – Congresswoman Young Kim today proudly announced the endorsements of over 70 conservative leaders in Riverside and Orange counties, underscoring her deep roots in the community and her proven record of delivering results for local families, businesses, and communities.
The broad base of support from both counties in the 40th Congressional District reflects a strong coalition of leaders rallying behind Rep. Kim, who they know will continue to stand with President Trump and take the fight to radical DC Democrats.
“I’m honored to have the support of so many Republican leaders who I’ve personally worked with to deliver results and solutions to improve the quality-of-life for every Californian,” said Congresswoman Young Kim. “Radicals in Washington are destroying the American Dream, but I’m standing with President Trump to defend our values, secure our future, and promote America First policies that will make our nation strong, safe, and prosperous.”
“Young Kim is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with President Trump to bring back America’s Golden Age. She’s fighting to restore law-and-order, secure our border, and rebuild the economy that Biden and Newsom have tried to destroy. Young Kim is a fearless America First conservative who puts Californian families and our country above the D.C. swamp,” added former Riverside State Senator Melissa Melendez.
