WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, Indivisible Co-Executive Director Ezra Levin issued the following statement celebrating Andy Kim’s victory in the New Jersey Senate Democratic Primary:
"Once considered a long shot, Andy Kim will now be New Jersey’s Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate. I’m particularly proud that local Indivisible groups and Indivisible national endorsed Andy before the first votes were cast. This is a monumental win, not only for the people of the Garden State, but the whole country. Andy rallied the people to defeat a powerfully corrupt, decades-old political machine. This is a story of political bravery in service of democracy that we’ll be telling for years to come.
“This victory is a testament to Andy’s courage and his inspiring campaign that has turned out swaths of voters across the state. Indivisible believes in Andy Kim, in his ability to build a winning coalition of supporters, in his earnest determination to overcome the odds. We’re proud to stand with Andy and behind the local Indivisible leaders across every corner of the state who are feeling hopeful after his victory tonight.
“Andy is a walking embodiment of pro-democracy values. His drive to build a better, more responsive government, paired with his resolute stance against the filibuster, ignited a groundswell of support from everyday New Jerseyans, proving that the people are ready for a functional Congress that can actually get stuff done. Throughout his career, Andy has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to serving the people of New Jersey, aligning his actions with his values. We’re confident that when Andy joins Senator Cory Booker in Washington, the Senate will be one vote closer to delivering a real democracy that is of, by, and for the people.
“The shift from improbability to inevitability in Andy’s candidacy is a testament to the remarkable power of grassroots organizing. Congratulations to Andy Kim and all the remarkable Indivisibles and activists in New Jersey who were audacious enough to go against the odds and pave the path for this moment. Above all, you and your campaign have given us hope."
