Voting analysis
Four of Young Kim's five filings are about one region. Two concern Korea — a partnership measure and one aimed at North Korean impersonation. One would deter Chinese aggression against Taiwan. One establishes a critical minerals innovation partnership, which is a supply chain question and therefore the same question wearing different clothes.
She chairs the Foreign Affairs subcommittee for East Asia and the Pacific. Very few pages on this site show a match this exact between what a member is assigned and what a member writes. The Californian Democrat who leads the minority on that same subcommittee also has a page here, and his record splits between foreign policy and health.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 46 currently sit at Introduced.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Young Kim's cluster into: International Affairs (17), Finance and Financial Sector (8), Armed Forces and National Security (3), Education (3), Foreign Trade and International Finance (3), Government Operations and Politics (2).
International affairs dominate her classified subjects accordingly, with finance a distant second and everything else in single figures.
Where she broke ranks
Three amendment votes, all unsuccessful. A fuel retailing bill she opposed while it passed. And a rotorcraft safety measure she supported that did not. Five departures, none of which changed an outcome.
