  • Young Kim: signed the April 2025 Medicaid red line, then voted for the cuts BROKE · 2025-07-03
    On July 3, 2025, Young Kim voted Yea on H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Roll Call 190, passed 218-214) — legislation the Congressional Budget Office projected would cut roughly $1 trillion from Medicaid over the following decade and leave millions more Americans without health coverage. Only two House Republicans voted no; one, Brian Fitzpatrick, cited the bill's deeper Medicaid cuts.

  • position_evolution SCORE 60
    Kim publicly touts her personal connection to IVF and cosponsors fertility protection legislation, yet maintains an A+ rating from a prominent anti-abortion group and consistently votes against reproductive rights legislation including the Women's Health Protection Act. Sources are from different hostnames (ocregister.com vs. emilyslist.org).

What this scorecard does and doesn't claim

Every figure above is a count of records the platform already holds, each click-through-able to its source. The scorecard adds no inference, no forecast, and no narrative — it aggregates what is documented.

A populated scorecard is not a finding of corruption. It documents the volume of stated-vs-revealed tension, donor-adjacent silence, and broken commitments on the public record for this official. Silence in particular is the absence of an expected statement; it can have innocent explanations and is never presented as proof. Read each item's source before drawing conclusions.
