“I am running for mayor of Saratoga Springs to return us to that unity and singularity of purpose,” Kim said during at announcement in High Rock Park. “Because just like in 2001, we have gone through difficult times. We have lost good friends. We have seen suffering. We have seen injustice. As a community, we will only recover if we come together.”
