Sen. Menendez leaves corruption case behind, seeks 3rd term

[Concerned]

U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez has put a federal corruption case behind him, and now he is taking aim at his Republican challenger, a wealthy former biopharmaceutical executive.

The 64-year-old New Jersey Democrat announced he will begin his re-election campaign on Wednesday with stops in his hometown of Union City, outside of New York City, and at Rowan College in southern New Jersey.

And with a 17 point lead, he's likely to win, too.  Sickening.

His former defense lawyer, Abbe Lowell is keeping busy, as well.  He's now working as Kushner's attorney, while the business deals are being investigated.

He's a foreign policy hawk, on Cuba, on Iran... no he is not a typical democrat but he is on social issues from what I've heard. His being problematic on the Iran deal may have gotten him in hot water with the Obama administration and it has been opined that is why they went after him.
