'Senate election' as important as the presidential election...The Korean 'Hwa-je' that caused a sensation in U.S. politics. [Now News]

In this year's federal upper and lower house elections, Korean politicians have also challenged each other, drawing keen attention at home and abroad.

In particular, Rep. Andy Kim, a three-term New Jersey congressman from the Democratic Party, is expected to advance to the federal Senate, and if Kim is elected, he will make history as the first Korean-American federal senator.

Kim is a second-generation immigrant who rose to a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives at a young age, and grew up in his current district of southern New Jersey.

After majoring in political science at the University of Chicago, I studied international relations at Oxford University in England as a 'Rose Scholarship Student'.

Kim is an Iraq expert who joined the State Department in 2009, served as a strategic adviser to a local U.S. commander in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2011, and is widely known as a diplomatic and security expert who combines theory and practice, as seen in his history as an aide to Iraq at the Pentagon and the White House National Security Council between 2013 and 2015.

Kim, a three-time U.S. congressman in New Jersey, won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in the New Jersey primary in June.

The district, southern New Jersey, has won two elections in a row through 2022, reaching a third term despite having an overwhelming white population and a rare Asian composition.

In particular, the rioting of supporters who objected to Trump's presidential election in 2021 has led to a silent clean-up of Congress, which has raised awareness across the country.
