NJ-11: Tom Malinowski's comeback campaign earns endorsement from Andy Kim

Last year, when most of the state’s political establishment was all-in for Tammy Murphy for U.S. Senate, a lonely dissent came from former Rep. Tom Malinowski, who instead supported then-Rep. Andy Kim and his anti-machine campaign.

Kim ended up winning that race against the odds, and now he’s in a position to return the favor: the senator is supporting Malinowski’s comeback bid in the special election to succeed Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill.

“Tom Malinowski knows the House of Representatives, he knows Congress, he knows New Jersey, he knows how to be able to stand up against Donald Trump,” Kim said in his endorsement video. “That’s what I need right now: someone there as a partner with me in the Capitol. And I see that in Tom Malinowski.”

Kim said that he and Malinowski first met 12 years ago, when Kim was working in the White House under President Barack Obama and Malinowski was a top official at the State Department. In 2018, both moved back home to New Jersey to try and unseat Republican House members – and both won, part of a nationwide wave that flipped control of the House from red to blue.
