Assemblywoman Young Kim Introduces Legislation to Help Homeless Youth

Bill would increase funding for programs serving homeless youth to $25 million

SACRAMENTO – Assemblywoman Young Kim (R-Fullerton) today announced that she has introduced legislation to provide a comprehensive services plan and funding to help address California’s growing homeless youth crisis.

In my district alone, there are nearly 8,600 homeless public school children,” said Kim. “Current services for homeless youth aren’t getting the job done in providing them with the basic necessities like food, shelter, job training, and basic life skills. By providing them with our love and support while young, we can put our homeless youth on the road to successful careers and bright futures.” Continue reading→

Why Quirk-Silva and Solorio lost in the 2014 General Election

Posted on November 5, 2014 by Editor Posted in Anaheim, Democratic Party, Janet Nguyen, Jose Solorio, Sharon Quirk-Silva, Young Kim Leave a comment

By the OC Politics Blog

Orange County Democrats were ecstatic when former Fullerton Mayor Sharon Quirk-Silva knocked off Chris Norby in 2012, in the 65th Assembly District. They partied hard but the party is over now that former Ed Royce staffer Young Kim has trounced Quirk-Silva in the 2014 General Election.

Lou Correa and Sharon Quirk-Silva

What they concluded was:

Seniors vote more.
Ethnicity can influence turnout. (ie. Latinos don’t vote but Asians do)
