Young Oak Kim, born October 18, 1962 (age 63), is a businesswoman from Orange County, California who successfully ran for U.S. House of Representatives from the state's 39th congressional district in the 2020 elections to unseat Democrat incumbent Gilbert Cisneros. A Republican, she previously ran in the 2018 Midterms against Cisneros to succeed the retiring Ed Royce, "losing" after potential election fraud then;[1] she had initially been announced the winner on election night with a clear lead.[2]
Kim has previously served in the California State Assembly from the 65th district.
Early life/education
Born in Incheon, South Korea, Kim spent her early childhood in Seoul and left the country in 1975, immigrating with her family to the United States. She attended the University of Southern California, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration.
U.S. House runs
2018
Kim ran for United States House of Representatives in 2018 to replace Ed Royce, who announced his retirement in January that year.[3] She won the open primary with a plurality of 21% of the vote, Democrat Gil Cisneros trailing in second place.[4] The latter is an Obama-backed lottery winner who was accused of sexual misconduct.[5] (See: Left-wing war on women)
Kim initially was declared the winner of the general election on the night the votes were counted,[1][2] though it was soon "discovered" that she lost after "more" ballots were counted in due to California's highly questionable election laws, such as ballot harvesting.[6][7] Cisneros was accused of harassing vote counters.[8] The Gateway Pundit noted that numbers suspiciously didn't add up correctly, comparing the House elections to the concurrent gubernatorial election.[9] Despite such, Kim ultimately conceded the election to Cisneros.[10]
The lamestream media notably gave Kim comparably less coverage than for similarly historic candidates at the time.[11][12]
2020
Kim announced in October 2019 her run against Democrat Rep. Gil Cisneros in the 2020 United States House of Representatives elections.[13] She has released campaign ads criticizing Cisneros over liberal hypocrisy.[14][15] The incumbent representative was considered to be an average liberal politician who campaigned on a so-called "moderate" platform[16] yet has voted with Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time in the 116th United States Congress.[17]
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), which accepted thousands in a donation from a tobacco company, attacked Kim in July 2019 for having taken a lower sum of money from the same company in 2018.[18]
Kim won the open primary held in early March 2020 with a plurality of 48.4% of the votes cast; Cisneros trailed in second place at 46.8%.[19]
An internal poll in early August 2020 showed a dead heat between Kim and Cisneros.[20] The increasingly unreliable and biased Cook Political Report rated the race as "Likely Democrat",[21] while RCP considered it to be a "tossup".[22]
Having held a narrow lead with nearly all of the vote reporting, Kim was declared the winner of the race on November 13, 2020.[23]
In 2021, Kim proposed that U.S. President Donald Trump be censured over the Capitol riots of January 6, of which Trump played no part in the violence. Instead he was impeached for a second time by the House, with Kim opposing impeachment.
In November 2023, Representative Kim joined sixty-nine other Republicans to vote to establish a new $300 million building to house the FBI, despite reservations raised by conservatives about the fairness of the agency.[24]
