Two Korean-Americans entered the US House of Representatives simultaneously in the US midterm election. Andy Kim, who ran for the New Jersey 3 district, and Young Kim, who ran for the California 39 district, is the main character.

According to foreign media including Polytiko, Andy Kim declared victory in the House of Representatives election in the New Jersey 3 district where he ran on July 7 (local time). "I am very proud to declare victory," he said before supporters of the day.

According to the real - time billing situation, Andy Kim won 49.8% of the 99% of votes in the New Jersey 3 electoral district where he ran. The rival, Republican Tom MacArthur, won 48.9 percent of the vote. Tom MacArthur, a rival Republican, has yet to officially acknowledge his defeat.

Andy Kim has been steadily narrowing the gap, although he was weakened by MacArthur in the first six months of the year in a six-to-three situation. MacArthur was ahead of Andy Kim by 0.9 percent until the early hours of the day, but the situation was reversed as Andy Kim won the strongest billing county in Burlington County.

The Republican party, which is also a Korean-American, has virtually won the Democratic contender, Gil Sisneros, who won 51.3 percent of the 100 percent of votes in California's 39 electoral district and 48.7 percent of the vote.

After the election victory of these two people, the US Congress was inaugurated 20 years after Kim Chang - joon 's retirement in 1998. It is the first time in the history of the United States that two Korean-Americans enter the Bundestag at the same time.

Andy Kim is a "pro-American" Obama who served as a national security advisor to the Middle East at the Obama administration. He is also the second generation immigrant born to immigrant parents from Korea to New Jersey. I have supported the universal right to enjoy medical services based on my experience with my father who suffered polio.

Young Kim is a migrant who migrated from Korea in 1975. He studied at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California, and entered politics in 1990. He has been working with House Republican Congressman Ed Royce, who has been in the area for the past 13 years, for 20 years, and he has won the election this time.

Meanwhile, Perl Kim, who ran for Pennsylvania's 5th election as a candidate for the Republican Party, and Thomas, who ran for the Virginia 8th district, failed to enter the US House of Representatives with just 35.0 percent and 23.7 percent of the vote respectively.
