Washington, D.C. — Today, Indivisible, one of the nation’s largest national progressive grassroots organizations, announced its endorsement of Rep. Andy Kim in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in New Jersey:
“Indivisible is beyond proud to stand behind Andy Kim, and join with the many local leaders up and down the state of New Jersey who are excited to carry him into office,” said Ezra Levin, co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible. “Andy Kim is the pro-democracy candidate in New Jersey. His commitment to ending the filibuster and getting things done in the Senate -- they’re exactly what we need more of in Washington. His record shows that he not only leads with integrity and humility, but also with grit and the energy needed to push back against MAGA extremists in the Senate.”
“Throughout his career, Andy Kim has shown an unwavering commitment to the people of New Jersey. From championing climate policy and affordable healthcare in Congress, to protecting our national security as an advisor to our country’s leaders, Andy Kim has consistently been a principled public servant whose actions and values are aligned with voters across New Jersey,” said Dani Negrete, National Political Director of Indivisible. “When Andy Kim goes to the Senate, he will bring a wealth of experience and use it to serve all New Jerseyans—not foreign governments, wealthy donors, or party bosses. We believe that Andy Kim, alongside Senator Cory Booker, will deliver the kind of representation and leadership in Washington that New Jerseyans have always deserved in the Senate. "
To earn Indivisible’s national endorsement, a candidate must demonstrate they’ve earned broad and committed support from their local Indivisible network. All endorsed candidates must have a strong progressive platform aligned with our movement’s values and the enthusiastic support of informed, energized voters in their district.
The following Indivisible groups across New Jersey have formally endorsed Andy Kim and recommended him to Indivisible for our national endorsement. Please contact them for their local perspectives on the race:
