NEW YORK CITY - Hispanic Democrats in Congress are standing behind Rep. Rob Menendez (D-N.J.) as he occupies the seat once held by his father, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), who is leaving the party following an indictment for corruption.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus issued a statement affirming their full support for the Freshman Representative, who is facing a serious primary challenge from Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla.
