<p><strong>ELMWOOD PARK, NJ —</strong>&nbsp;U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) joined members of the community and local leaders to celebrate the Korean American Association of New Jerseys ‘Day of Special Needs.’ The event featured competitive games, music, and awards.&nbsp;</p>

<p>New Jersey is proud to be home to more than 104,000 residents with Korean ancestry, the fourth-largest Korean American population in the country.</p>

<p>“Our Korean American community is a critical part of North Jersey’s strength — working hard every day to make our neighborhoods an even better place to live, raise our families, and do business,”&nbsp;<strong>said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), an Associate Member of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC).</strong>&nbsp;“Please know this: I am fighting for legislation to recognize the contributions of our Korean American community and will continue to defend Medicaid and other vital programs from drastic cuts that threaten our families. And, I will never stop fighting for all of you.”&nbsp;</p>
