Korean-American Democrat Andy Kim is expected to win the House of Representatives seat for New Jersey's 3rd congressional district in the U.S. midterm election.
As of Thursday local time, all votes have been counted according to the election commission, and Kim is ahead with 49-point-9 percent of the vote.
That's just one-point-one percentage points more than his challenger Republican Tom MacArthur, who is yet to concede the race according to U.S. media.
Kim has previously worked as an advisor to the Obama administration on counter-terrorism and national security. The self-made Korean-American prioritized offering citizens the opportunities to improve their lives, sharing his family's own experience of achieving the American dream.
Andy Kim would be the first Korean-American Democrat to be elected as a U.S. Congressman. Korean-American Republican Young Kim also won a congressional seat for the 39th electoral district in California during this year's midterm elections.
