Only in America can a first-generation immigrant who speaks English as a third language rise to become a Member of this body. When my parents fled communist North Korea for freedom in South Korea, they never would have imagined that their daughter would be standing here today. On behalf of my beautiful, diverse district, my team and I have accomplished a great deal. We have delivered significant funding to improve our Orange County beaches through sand replenishment. We have also provided important infrastructure investments to our communities. We have expanded healthcare access by expanding telehealth coverage. We have led the fight for lower taxes. Legislation I have sponsored on its way to becoming law includes legislation to expand language access in telehealth for non-English speakers and expand mental health support for youth in foster care. I have been a strong advocate for defending human rights across the globe and taking on the communist regimes who abuse them. These accomplishments are not mine alone.…
