MOORESTOWN, NJ – Yesterday, Congressman Andy Kim(NJ-03) held his monthly town hall where he discussed preparing for the holidays, COVID safety, including the Omicron variant, and how we can all help local small businesses this holiday season.
"This year has been rough for a lot of people in our community. Coming together for our last town hall of the year reminded me of the compassion and the togetherness we can achieve when we listen to one another, and hear each other out," said Congressman Kim. "From helping small businesses recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, to helping our neighbors access COVID testing and vaccines, I'm glad this town hall could help people access the resources they need to have a safe, happy, healthy, and fruitful holiday season. From all of us in my office, happy holidays!"
During the town hall, Congressman Kim discussed COVID safety, why getting vaccinated and boosted is important, and what we can all do to support local small businesses.
