Menendez becomes first Hispanic elected statewide in New Jersey

Tagged: ,

“Democrat Robert Menendez continued his history-making career with his victory over Republican Tom Kean Jr. in New Jersey’s Senate race.

Menendez, the son of Cuban immigrants, brought the number of Hispanics in the Senate to an all-time high of three when he was sworn in earlier this year to fill a seat vacated by Jon Corzine, who was elected governor. By winning a full, six-year term, Menendez, 52, becomes the first Hispanic elected statewide in New Jersey.”
