It looks like all four Korean American lawmakers serving in American politics will be able to secure their seats during the 2022 midterm elections.
This comes as New Jersey Representative Andy Kim became the first Korean American to win a third term in the U.S. Congress in 26 years.
The Associated Press declared Kim's victory over his Republican challenger some three hours after the polls closed on Tuesday.
Under the Obama administration,... he served as an adviser at the Pentagon, as well as the White House National Security Council.
Before him,... former Republican Representative Jay Chang-joon Kim of California's 41st District served three terms from 1993 to 1999.
Other Congressional representatives of Korean descent - namely, Michelle Steel, Young Kim, and Marilyn Strickland - also appear headed for re-election.
Marilyn Strickland,... according to AP,... is leading the race to retain her seat representing Washington's 10th Congressional District, having garnered nearly 57 percent of the votes.
Republican Young Kim also won her bid for a second term in office in California's 40th Congressional District.
With this,... members of the Korean American community have high hopes that their voices will be better heard within American political circles.
