Menendez said the most important lesson imparted by his father is that politics “is about service, and you have to work hard every single day to improve the lives of your constituents.”
Robert Menendez, son of Sen. Bob Menendez, is running for congress in New Jersey's 8th District. He was photographed in Jersey City where he lives, on Friday, Feb. 18, 2022. When you’re the son of a U.S. senator, all it takes is one open political seat to launch your next career.
Taking a page out of the Hudson County Democratic Organization playbook, endorsements poured in -- from Gov. Phil Murphy to Sen. Cory Booker to elected HCDO leaders. The message was loud and clear to any would-be challengers in the June primary: the Eighth District seat is Menendez’s to lose. “In this moment, with everything that’s happening in our communities and our state and our country, I feel a need to be actively engaged,” Menendez said. “To be of service to my community.”“He’s a lawyer that’s making more money than he’ll make as a United States House of Representatives member … so it’s not about money. Not about fame, he’s on the board of the Port of Authority of New York and New Jersey, that can give you some wide recognition,” Bob Menendez said.
Asked about themes of his campaign, he supplied some broad areas of concern, including affordable in housing, health care and education. He named early childhood care as his number one priority if elected to Congress. Daniel Faltas, an editor along with Menendez at the law school’s Race and the Law Review from 2010-2011, recalled him as “engaging, gregarious, popular.”Bernard Bell, a Rutgers Law professor who taught Menendez constitutional law and employed him as a research assistant, called him a “fabulous” student, “just a delightful person to interact with in class and as a research assistant.”
Menendez recalled his early life as different than most, but in a way that deepened his understanding of politics. His father was elected mayor of Union City in 1986, the same year Rob was born.
