| Info | Biography
In the early 1970s, when Kim was three years old, his parents left South Korea for America in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their children. It is a familiar American story but one that cannot be told enough. They left friends, family and jobs to pursue that American dream of higher education, success and prosperity. They arrived in the northern suburbs of Chicago and were quickly enveloped by the kindness and goodwill of strangers—many from the Asian-American community who had made the same journey themselves. And over the years, America gave them what it had promised and allowed them to give Steve a solid education as the foundation for his own success in life. Today, Steve is the first Asian American candidate for Attorney General in Illinois history.
