Trenton, NJ — July 2, 2025 — The Latino Action Network (LAN), under the leadership of President Javier Robles, calls on all New Jersey members of the U.S. House of Representatives to oppose the House version of the recently passed Senate reconciliation bill.

"This is not budget reform — it is a moral crisis."

Latino Action Network Endorses Andy Kim for U.S. Senate in New Jersey

Original Insider NJ Article

New Brunswick, NJ — October 17, 2024 — The Latino Action Network (LAN), New Jersey’s leading statewide advocacy organization dedicated to protecting the rights of Latino communities, proudly announces its endorsement of Congressman Andy Kim for the United States Senate. As the race heats up following Senator Bob Menendez’s departure, LAN believes Kim is the right candidate to represent New Jersey and continue the fight for social, economic, and racial justice.

LAN’s endorsement is rooted in Congressman Kim’s proven track record as a leader who listens and takes action on issues important to Latinos across the state. Since being elected to Congress, Andy Kim has demonstrated a deep understanding of the challenges facing immigrant families, working-class communities, and minority populations. His commitment to education, affordable healthcare, fair wages, and comprehensive immigration reform aligns with LAN’s mission to build a more just and equitable New Jersey for all.

“We are proud to support Andy Kim in his campaign for the U.S. Senate,” said Javier Robles, President of the Latino Action Network. “Congressman Kim has consistently shown that he stands with Latino families, advocating for policies that uplift our communities. As a son of immigrants, he understands the struggles many of us face and will continue to fight for the rights and dignity of all New Jerseyans in Washington.”

Kim’s leadership on key issues like voting rights, labor protections, and expanding access to affordable housing has made a real difference for Latino families. LAN is confident that his dedication and passion will translate to strong action and advocacy for New Jersey’s diverse populations at the national level.

In accepting LAN’s endorsement, Congressman Kim expressed his gratitude and reaffirmed his commitment to working hand in hand with Latino communities across the state. “Latino communities in New Jersey play an integral role in the fabric of our state, and I am committed to working with organizations like the Latino Action Network to ensure that their voices are heard, their rights protected, and their opportunities expanded,” said Congressman Andy Kim. “Together, we will build a future where every family, no matter their background, can thrive.”

LAN encourages all voters, especially those in the Latino community, to mobilize and support Congressman Andy Kim in his bid to become New Jersey’s next U.S. Senator. With his leadership, New Jersey will continue to move forward, creating policies that reflect the values of inclusivity, equity, and opportunity for all.
