Sen. Bob Menendez's congressman son announces House re-election bid days after father's corruption indictment
Fox News
Rep. Rob Menendez, D-N.J., announced his re-election bid days after his father Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., was indicted for alleged bribery and corruption.
The freshman congressman, whose district includes Hudson County, where the Menendez family harnessed their power at the start of his father’s political career 50 years ago, said Friday that he had "unwavering confidence" in Sen. Menendez, and looks forward to moving past "this distraction," according to the New Jersey Globe. Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

Rep. Menendez has stood by his father, despite a number of New Jersey Democrats, including Gov. Phil Murphy and House members, demanding the long-time senator’s resignation.
