Senator Bob Menendez gets a Primary opponent for 2024 (Joe Signorello)

I’m the Democratic Mayor of Roselle Park, New Jersey. Today, I’m launching my campaign for U.S. Senate against Bob Menendez in the Democratic primary election in 2024.

Simply put, Bob Menendez is a corrupt embarrassment to the voters of the state of New Jersey. For the last decade, we’ve had no other options – nobody’s been willing to step up to run a challenger campaign against him.

I’m no stranger to running in tough races, and this is going to be my toughest race yet.

In 2018, I won my first race for Mayor and flipped my hometown of Roselle Park from red to blue. I’ve worked with folks from every corner of our municipality to achieve historic tax reductions for working families, rehabilitate the local economy, and pioneer new community policing methods.

Anyone who’s been paying attention to New Jersey politics can see the glaring gap between what people want in their elected officials… and what we get. Bob Menendez is a prime example of an epidemic of failed leadership and the brand of politics killing the Democratic Party. His disregard for the law and ethics make him a weak sitting Senator, who is painfully vulnerable to the Republican nominee in 2024.

I have a vision for a Democratic Party that’s adept and realistic about how we use our power in the Senate – one that can banish the filibuster for good, pass Medicare for All, cancel student debt, and root out blatant corruption in our government.
