ASBL 28: Charlie Kim, 2026 Candidate, ILL 11th District

Charlie Kim is running for Congress as a Republican in Illinois’ District 11. Descendant of a diplomat and international businessman, Charlie went to Harvard University (international economics and politics), Harvard Business School (administration and executive management), and Harvard Law School (dispute resolutions, mediation and arbitration judgements).

We discussed his reasons for running, what he wants to do for the people in his district, and the American Small Business League’s reasons for wanting Congress to raise from 5% to 15% the federal contract dollars that must go to women-owned small businesses, and other small business issues.

Learn more about Charlie at CharlieInCongress.us and more about the American Small Business League at ASBL.com.

The American Small Business League is an advocacy group working to end the diversion of federal small business contracts to big businesses. Our Don’t Cheat Women project (DontCheatWomen.com) seeks economic fairness for women so they can be political equals. Men hold more political offices and have more political influence simply because they earn and save more than women. Our economy will boom when only small businesses get “small business” contracts.
