Young Kim

Overview

Representative Young Kim serves California in the U.S. House as a Republican with a moderate conservative voting record. Her ideological positioning suggests she represents a more centrist approach within her party, which may reflect the competitive nature of her California district. Her voting patterns show strong support for defense-related measures (100% yea) and education initiatives, while demonstrating more selective support on healthcare legislation (48% yea) and budget matters (43% yea). On procedural votes, she consistently votes against Democratic-led motions to order the previous question and resolutions, reflecting standard party alignment on House floor procedures. Kim's record indicates a pragmatic approach to legislating, supporting bipartisan measures that come through suspension of the rules (which requires two-thirds majority) while maintaining Republican positions on more partisan procedural matters.
