Washington, D.C.—Latino Victory Fund congratulated Congressman Rob Menendez on winning the Democratic primary for New Jersey’s 8th Congressional District.
Statement on Rob Menendez, Jr. by Sindy M. Benavides, Latino Victory Fund President & CEO:
“Congressman Menendez is committed to fighting for working families, and his primary win shows he has once again earned the trust and support of his constituents. He has been a powerful voice in Congress on issues that matter to the Latino community, and we know that he will continue to put forth legislation to improve his community and all New Jerseyans. As a supporter of worker’s rights, he’s advocated for organized labor and is helping to combat the effects of climate change, which disproportionately impact Latino workers and people of color in general. He’s also vowed to protect reproductive choice, which is critical in the face of state-wide abortion bans and relentless GOP attacks against reproductive freedom. Congressman Menendez knows how to push back at hard-right MAGA Republican attacks, and in Congress, he’ll be one more voice standing up for Latinos and marginalized communities. Latino Victory Fund is proud to support Congressman Menendez for Congress.”
