Kim's 2024 Senate campaign raised $19.7 million with 91 percent from individual donors and only 9 percent from PACs and committees, supplemented by $898,000 in party and single-issue political money. Among industry-tied contributions, lawyers and lobbyists comprised the largest share at 25 percent, followed by securities and investment at 15 percent and health services at 10 percent; these same three sectors also appear prominently in the employment backgrounds of his individual donors. Kim has 314 recorded votes in the Senate and no stock trade disclosures on file.
