E. Tammy Kim on the New Jersey congressman Andy Kim’s Senate campaign and his legal effort to eliminate the state’s idiosyncratic “county line” ballot design.

Murphy has never held elected office, and was a registered Republican until about a decade ago. In most places, this would make Murphy, not Kim, who’s in his third term, the underdog. New Jersey is different.

Below those names will be a single candidate for Senate.

” Kim told me that he was so in awe of his station that he kept a second pair of dress shoes under his desk, reserved for visits to the Oval Office. The work, though, was unremitting and made him “a shell of a human being,” he said. He took a break, hoping to return to the White House after Hillary Clinton’s Inauguration. Instead, Donald Trump was elected.
