Together, and working with Senator Booker, our House colleagues and officials across New Jersey, I believe we can make our state more affordable, I believe we can make it more transparent, and I believe we can make it a hub for opportunity and innovation. This is our moment to bring change and progress to the Garden State. I look forward to working with Governor-elect Sherrill in the coming years to deliver it.

Kim said he would work with Governor-elect Sherrill and other New Jersey officials in coming years to deliver affordability, transparency, opportunity, and innovation for the state.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

The promise is broad and largely aspirational, covering affordability, transparency, opportunity, innovation, and collaboration with several New Jersey actors. The evidence shows same-term activity by Andy Kim with Senator Booker, House delegation colleagues, local officials, and federal agencies on farmer relief, detention oversight legislation, affordability-related tariff refund legislation, town halls, infrastructure, workforce, AI, and innovation. However, the record does not establish that Kim fully delivered the overall statewide outcome or that he materially collaborated with Governor Sherrill on the cited state affordability and innovation measures. This supports meaningful progress and effort, but not full delivery of the entire promise.
