My name is Sam Sim, and I’ve been a resident of Snohomish County and Bothell for 20 years. My family immigrated to Honolulu in 1972 when I was less than a year old, seeking a better life. My father, a pastor, instilled in me an unbreakable family bond despite our humble beginnings and growing up for the majority of my younger years, destitute. Having lived in ten states across the U.S., I’ve developed a profound love for people and our country. Experiencing America’s diverse cultures and the beauty of my Korean heritage inspired me to bridge cultural gaps.

My family roots and interactions with various communities have shown me that we all share the same aspirations for our families. This conviction drives my dedication to championing education as well as equal representation and awareness for all cultures, backgrounds and walks of life. As a candidate, “family first” is at the core of my campaign and values. Families are the bedrock of our society, providing love, support, and stability. As a parent and community member, I prioritize family needs in all endeavors. If elected, I will tirelessly advocate for policies that support families, including quality education, economic opportunities and safety for our citizens.

Moreover, as an entreprenuer and small business owner, I have come to realize firsthand the value of being rewarded for ones own shear effort and hard work. Hard and honest work should rewarded in kind. It is with these values and by putting families first, we can build a industrious, cohesive and prosperous community. Im committed to you to work together to ensure our children and our next generation receives the support and resources they need to not only surve, but to thrive.
