Ian Smith is the owner of Atilis Gym. He made
the announcement on Twitter. He
is seeking to oust Kim to represent New Jersey's third congressional district

Smith defied Gov. Phil Murphy's mandates that gyms keep their indoor spaces closed to the public.
He and his co-owner, Frank
Trumbetti, were arrested in July 2020 on charges of fourth-degree contempt and obstruction and
violation of a disaster control act.
