Biography & Current Office

Background & current office

Young Kim is a Republican representative from California who has served in the U.S. House since 2021 and currently represents California’s 40th District. Congress.gov records her service in the 117th through 119th Congresses.

Kim’s official House biography describes her as an immigrant from South Korea, a former small-business owner and community leader, and one of the first Korean American women to serve in Congress.

In the 119th Congress, Kim serves on the House Foreign Affairs and Financial Services Committees and on the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition with the Chinese Communist Party. Her office identifies her as chair of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on East Asia and the Pacific. This review keeps those institutional roles separate from claim-specific fact checks.

Legislation & official congressional activity

No legislation has been promoted into the curated editorial layer for this member yet. That is intentional: FactFlag does not manufacture a “notable bill” merely to fill a profile.

Use the official federal records below to review sponsored legislation, roll-call activity and current office statements. FactFlag will add claim-specific vote explanations only when a particular vote or legislative action is actually part of a sourced claim.
