Young Kim, currently serving in the U.S. Congress as the representative for California's 40th district, engaged her audience through a series of social media posts addressing both personal sentiments and community achievements.

Following her heartfelt message, Kim addressed fiscal matters on April 22, 2025, noting her team's efforts to return taxpayer money.

In celebration of Earth Day, Kim acknowledged the natural beauty of her district on April 22, 2025. She posted, "Happy #EarthDay! From Chino Hills State Park to the Cleveland National Forest, CA-40 is home to beautiful landscapes.
