The mild-mannered congressmember has early momentum that will test the party’s established power structure.Andy Kim is trying to do something rare in New Jersey politics: win by casting himself as a soft-spoken outsider.
The coming months could provide a classic sort of political showdown, featuring an upstart trying to harness outsider excitement in a state known for insider dealmaking. “Just the structure of it, I think, is wholly inequitable,” said Uyen Khong, executive director of Action Together New Jersey, a progressive advocacy group that champions greater ballot access. Khong, who has worked as an informal advisor to Kim on previous campaigns, adds there are “two different systems” Kim will have to navigate: one wooing party bosses and the second, winning over Democratic primary voters.
“The Democratic political bosses — some elected, some not — made a deal with this governor despite him representing almost everything they’re against,” she said. “They didn’t do it for the state. They did it to help themselves politically and financially.”
