U.S. Representative Young Kim (CA-40) was sworn in by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (CA-20) to serve in the 118th Congress as representative for California’s 40th Congressional District, which includes parts of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

Rep. Kim released the following statement after being sworn in:

“I am humbled and honored to be able to represent California’s 40th District,” said Rep. Kim. “I came to Congress to bring common sense to Washington, break through the partisan gridlock and get things done. I will not stop fighting to support our Southern California communities, get this country back on track and keep the American dream alive for future generations. Let’s get to work!”

The article above was released by the office of Representative Young Kim (CA-40).

Note that the swearing-in ceremony took place after Kevin McCarthy (CA-20) finally won the Speakership after fifteen ballots. No members of Congress could be sworn until a Speaker is chosen. No work can begin until the Members are sworn in.
