End Citizens United Statement on Sen. Menendez Potentially Running as an Independent

Mar 21, 2024

End Citizens United (ECU) President Tiffany Muller issued the below statement after Senator Bob Menendez announced he is considering running as an independent in the New Jersey Senate race:

“Anyone with a pulse knows that Senator Menendez has no path to win as an independent. This is a dangerous, self-serving move by Senator Menendez that threatens the Senate majority. There’s a real chance he could play spoiler in November if a weak Democrat is nominated.

“That’s why we’re going to do everything we can to support Congressman Andy Kim, who is battle-tested and has a record of winning tough races in a tough district. His grassroots people-powered campaign has the momentum and support that can not only win a three-way race, but help win critical down-ballot races that we need to flip the House. It’s time for new leadership that prioritizes integrity and accountability over backroom deals and corrupt machine politics.”
