During the Town Hall, Congressman Kim presented his recently introduced Supporting Our First Responders Act to Jaime Wood, chief officer of Lumberton EMS and a constituent of New Jersey’s 3rd District, to thank them for bringing the idea and need for this legislation to the Congressman.

He also presented the Congressional Award Gold Medal to Shannon Rhatigan for her exemplary community involvement and hundreds of hours of service, personal development, physical fitness, and Expedition or Exploration. The Congressional Award is Congress’ highest honor for youth.
