151st Legislative DistricKorean American Community
My name is Kevin Kim and I am a 20 year Resident of the 151st Legislative District. I have lived with my elected Representatives being both a Democrat and a Republican. I respect equally all those who step up to serve the public good. The 151st Legislative District as it currently stands is comprised of the best of the Korean American community. We have the largest and the most vibrant Korean American Christian Church with numerous smaller Korean American churches, the largest and most well stocked Korean American International Supermarket and the newly built public memorial in honor of the Korean War Veterans. All of this has been made possible because Korean Americans have made the 151st Legislative District their home. Their children attend the same schools, play at the same parks and recreation centers, join the same little league and youth soccer teams. The 151st Legislative District welcomes individuals of all heritage and ethnicity irrespective of anyone's political persuasion. The 151st Legislative District encompasses thousands of Korean Americans living in Horsham Township, Montgomery Township, North Wales, Lower Gwynedd and Upper Dublin. Over the years, Korean Americans have been given an opportunity to feel at home and be identified with their elected leaders within the 151st Legislative geographic boundary and made to feel that they are a part of something bigger and that they are individuals with full rights and privileges and responsibilities and obligations as an undeniable Americans of Korean heritage. If the 151st Legislative District is torn apart and redrawn for political reasons of one Party over another, such actions ignore the people who have come to call the 151st Legislative District their home and who have called both the Democratic elected leaders and the Republican elected leaders their friends, neighbors and mentors. The Korean American community respectfully requests that the 151st Legislative District be left as it currently stands without regards to the next State Representative who may be a Democrat or a Republican or otherwise. It is a difficult request no doubt, but that is precisely what good leaders would do when they are asked to do the right thing. May God bless our Country. May God bless the 2021 Legislative Reapportionment Commission. Kevin T. Kim, Esq. Korean American Lawyers Association Korean American Sports Association
