Robert Menendez Jr.

Who is he?

Congressman Rob Menendez Jr. represents New Jersey’s 8th District, a seat he took over after a career in law and public service. He was the first Millennial commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The son of longtime Senator Bob Menendez, Rob has been in the spotlight both for his achievements and the controversy surrounding his father’s legal issues. His father was found guilty on multiple counts of federal corruption, but Rob has made it clear that while the past is part of his story, he’s focused on his own path in Congress. He’s passionate about serving his community, pushing for affordable healthcare, economic justice, and protecting the environment.

What’s he saying?

“Healthcare is a human right. It is crucial that we lower the cost of quality health insurance, protect the right to choose, improve equity and access to medical care, and make sure that every American receives the best healthcare possible regardless of ability to pay.”
