End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller issued the following statement on Senator Bob Menendez being found guilty on all corruption charges:
“Today’s guilty verdicts against Senator Menendez is a major triumph for justice and the rule of law. Senator Menendez exploited public office, shamelessly selling out his constituents for his own financial enrichment. This verdict delivers a powerful message that corruption and abuse of power will not be tolerated in government. It’s clear Senator Menendez can no longer hold public office. He should resign immediately—and if he refuses, the Senate must act to expel him.
“With this dark chapter in New Jersey politics behind them, voters have an opportunity to restore dignity to the office by electing Congressman Andy Kim, who embodies honesty, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to public service. Congressman Kim will be a voice for all New Jersey families and a fantastic U.S. Senator.”
ECU was the first national group to endorse Congressman Kim’s campaign for the U.S. Senate, following the shocking indictment detailing Senator Bob Menendez’s corruption.
