Campaign websiteKim's campaign website stated the following:Standing with President Trump to Save AmericaI ran for Congress because our country was being driven off a cliff by radical liberals who sold the American people out. Under Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom, Washington and Sacramento abandoned common sense, embraced woke ideology, and attacked anyone who stood in their way. I refused to stay silent, and I stood up to fight back. I am proud to stand with President Trump and the America First movement because the great American Comeback depends on it. In Congress, I didn’t go along to get along and appease the swamp to move up its ranks. Instead, I voted 100% with President Trump on major America First policies. I took on the radical left and delivered results for families who are being crushed by Bidenflation, rising crime, and a wide-open border.I stand with President Trump and will fight alongside him to Make America Strong Again. Make America Free Again. Make America Secure Again. Make America Great Again. Protecting Election Integrity Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy. I supported the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to ensure only American citizens can vote in American elections, and I support voter ID in California and across the country so every legal vote counts and every election is secure. Election integrity is common sense, and it’s critical to making America great again.Holding Liberal Activist Judges Accountable Liberal activist judges have weaponized the courts to attack and undermine President Trump and America First conservatives while advancing a political agenda from the bench that puts Americans in harm’s way. I am the only candidate in this race who has voted to hold these judges accountable for abusing their power to attack President Trump and unjustly block the will of the American people. The law must be enforced fairly, without political bias or discrimination. Fixing Bidenflation and Making California More AffordableJoe Biden and Gavin Newsom went on a reckless spending spree, and California families paid the price. Runaway inflation was caused by out-of-touch Democrats spending trillions we didn’t have and then sticking the American people with the bill. Gas, groceries, housing, and utility prices are out of control. I fought back by working with President Trump to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill, the largest tax cut for working Americans in history, that reined in reckless spending and put America back on a path of economic dominance. Securing the Border & Enforcing Immigration LawsBorder security is national security. Joe Biden opened our border and purposely created a crisis that overwhelmed law enforcement, and allowed deadly fentanyl to flood into our country. I visited the Southern Border, saw the crisis firsthand, and stood with Border Patrol to push real solutions. That’s why I worked with President Trump to make the largest investment in border security in American history: $46.5 billion for border wall construction and more than $150 billion for immigration enforcement to hire thousands of Border Patrol agents and deploy hundreds of miles of smart-technology barriers.But securing the border also means enforcing the law, which is why I supported the Laken Riley Act to ensure illegal immigrants who commit crimes are detained, deported, and not released back into our communities. It’s simple: enforce our laws, secure the border, no amnesty, and put American safety first.Backing the Blue and Restoring Law & OrderWhile Gavin Newsom and the radical woke mob attack law enforcement and protect criminals, I’ve always supported our law enforcement officers and ensured they had the resources they needed to keep our families safe. I oppose soft-on-crime, defund the police policies, and stand for law and order. Victims deserve justice, families deserve safety, and our law enforcement officers deserve leaders who have their back, not politicians who side with criminals.Draining the Swamp by Supporting Term LimitsWashington is broken because out-of-touch career politicians protect the system and are more focused on climbing the political ladder than serving the people. Draining the swamp starts with instituting term limits. That’s why I am the only candidate in this race to sign the U.S. Term Limits pledge, which is a commitment to end career politicians, restore accountability, and bring real change to Congress. Restoring an American First EconomyA strong America depends on a strong and vibrant economy. I fought for jobs, growth, and America First economic policies that put American workers, businesses, and families first. For far too long, Washington politicians have let countries like Communist China rip us off with unfair trade deals, stolen intellectual property, and policies that shipped American jobs overseas. I will always stand up for fair trade, American manufacturing, energy independence, and a free market economy that is strong, competitive, and never taken advantage of again. Working with President Trump, we can secure America’s Golden Age.Fighting Biden's Tax Hikes with the Largest Tax Cut in American HistoryAs inflation exploded across America, Joe Biden doubled down with the largest tax increase in American history, squeezing families even more. Californians continued working harder than ever, but Biden and Newsom kept taking more. That’s why I worked with President Trump to pass the Working Families Tax Cuts, the largest tax cut in American history, to deliver immediate relief to Californians and jumpstart the economy. By raising the standard deduction, expanding the deduction for state and local taxes (SALT) by 300%, and expanding the Child Tax Credit, the Trump tax cuts put more money back in people’s pockets and helped Americans keep more of what they earn. I will always continue the fight for lower taxes and to eliminate wasteful government spending.Defending Fairness in Women's Sports I will always stand up for our daughters and protect fairness in women’s sports. Biological boys should not compete in girls’ sports. Period. We must defend equal opportunity and preserve the integrity of competition. Ending Political Profiteering Corruption in Washington is rampant, and too many politicians are constantly in the news for self-dealing, backroom deals, and using their positions to enrich themselves rather than serve the people. Unfortunately, I am the only candidate in this race to champion the Stop Insider Trading Act, which bans Members of Congress from cashing in on insider information and abusing their positions for personal gain. No elected official should be allowed to play by a different set of rules or make themselves rich off the backs of hardworking taxpayers. I will continue fighting to restore trust and accountability by ending this culture of corruption in Washington and draining the swamp.Advancing American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence America is in a global race to lead the world in artificial intelligence, and we must win and not lose ground to China or other foreign competitors. I support the President’s AI Action Plan because it puts American innovation, American workers, and American national security first. The AI Action Plan cuts unnecessary red tape, expands access to American AI infrastructure, strengthens domestic manufacturing and supply chains, and helps create high-paying jobs here at home, so American families benefit from this technology. America should lead the future of AI with innovation we can trust, built by Americans, and used to strengthen our economy and global competitiveness. Leading the Future of BlockchainI support unleashing innovation in digital assets and blockchain technology because these technologies can strengthen our economy, create jobs, and keep the United States competitive on the global stage. I cosponsored the STABLE Act and voted for the GENIUS Act to provide a clear framework for stablecoin providers that promotes innovation while protecting consumers and maintaining financial stability. I also supported the CLARITY Act and continue to advocate for its passage in the Senate so that our crypto economy has the certainty it needs to grow and prosper. I believe blockchain’s potential goes beyond finance as it can advance transparency, freedom of information, and secure digital infrastructure here at home and around the world. America should lead in digital asset innovation with sensible rules, not cede this future to foreign competitors.— Young Kim's campaign website (July 12, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.

Campaign website

Kim's campaign website stated the following:

Fighting to Create Jobs and Strengthen the Economy

As a small business owner, Young knows what it takes to create an environment where jobs can be created and workers can thrive.

Young believes that the hard working men and women of Southern California are taxed and regulated enough. She will fight to keep taxes low so that individuals and families can keep more of their hard earned dollars because they know how best to spend their money, not Washington politicians.

Young will fight to help create and keep good paying jobs right here in Southern California. She will work to reduce unnecessary regulations, increase trade, and work with state and local leaders to create an environment where business can prosper and create good paying jobs.

Keeping America Safe

Young knows that keeping Americans safe and secure is vital in order to enjoy the freedoms and the prosperity we cherish.

At home, Young knows we must make sure that our first responders have the equipment that they need to deal with new and evolving threats to our security.

Abroad, Young believes that America should be a leader in the world by standing up for the values that have made our country great and given so many hope. We should work to build consensus in the international community to improve our world while showing resolve in the face of rogue nations and terrorism.

Honoring Our Veterans

Young believes that we owe a great debt to those who have served in our nation’s armed services. She will fight to make sure that veterans receive the quality care that they were promised by working to reform the VA and increase accessibility in Southern California.

Immigration

As a proud immigrant, Young wants people from around the world to be able to legally immigrate to our country, become citizens, and achieve the American dream. However, our immigration system is broken and must be fixed. Young will work with anyone who is willing to reform our immigration system, increase border security, and make sure that those brought to this country as children without legal documentation are treated fairly and with compassion.

Empowering Teachers and Investing In Our Schools

Top-down, one-size-fits-all policies from Washington don’t work in our local schools. Young believes that our parents and teachers know best how local students learn and succeed. She will fight for increased STEM education funding and to make sure education dollars go to teachers and classrooms not bureaucrats in Sacramento or Washington, D.C.[27]
