Young Kim, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 40th district, has taken to Twitter to highlight her legislative priorities and initiatives. Kim, who has been in Congress since 2021, previously served in the California State Assembly and is known for her focus on policy issues concerning both humans and animals.

On April 3, 2025, Young Kim tweeted about her leadership role in a bipartisan bill aimed at improving the training capabilities of examiners handling veterans' military sexual trauma claims. She emphasized the importance of the examination process and its potential to cause additional harm, stating: "I'm leading a bipartisan bill that would improve examiners’ training capabilities to make sure they are best prepared to handle veterans’ military sexual trauma claims without incurring additional harm. The examination process shouldn't cause more pain."

In a subsequent tweet on the same day, she expressed her commitment to ending harmful animal testing, highlighting her dedication to treating animals with care. Kim wrote: "Animals are God’s creatures & should be treated with care, not cruelty. Stopping harmful animal testing is a priority of mine as your representative. Honored to be named a legislative leader by @humaneactfund!" Her acknowledgment as a legislative leader by the Humane Action Fund showcases her ongoing work in this area.

Later that afternoon, Kim shared her engagement with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). She thanked OCTA CEO Darrell Johnson for discussing updates on various projects and programs, noting the discussion's relevance to surface transportation reauthorization. Kim stated: "I thank @goOCTA CEO Darrell Johnson for meeting with me to share updates on current OCTA projects & highway programs ahead of surface transportation reauthorization & how we can innovate transit policy ideas."
