Young Kim, a U.S. Congress member representing California's 40th district since 2021, recently shared insights and activities on her social media platform. Her tweets cover topics ranging from financial literacy to legislative support against foreign influence in American educational institutions.

On May 7, 2025, Young Kim emphasized the importance of financial education by stating that "Financial literacy is a lifelong journey – it’s never too late to start learning ways to take control of your finances & your future." She expressed satisfaction with the turnout at the Financial Literacy & Wealth Creation Caucus Fair held that day.

Later that day, she posted about hosting constituents at the U.S. Capitol. Kim mentioned her pleasure in showing around a family from Lake Forest: "We loved showing the Josserand family from Lake Forest around the U.S. Capitol!" She invited others planning visits to notify her office through an online link provided in her tweet.

In another post on May 7, 2025, Kim addressed concerns over foreign influence in educational institutions. She declared her support for legislation aimed at restricting federal funding for programs linked to certain foreign entities: "U.S. taxpayer dollars shouldn't be funding Confucius Institutes & other Chinese Communist Party affiliated propaganda on American college campuses." She endorsed a bill by Rep Pfluger designed to prevent Department of Homeland Security funds from supporting such initiatives.

Young Kim was born in Incheon, South Korea, and has been serving as a congresswoman since replacing Gil Cisneros in 2021. Before this role, she served in the California State Assembly from 2014 to 2016 and graduated with a BBA from the University of Southern California in 1985.
