Rep. Rob Menendez, the son of embattled Sen. Bob Menendez, and a fellow New Jersey Democrat, said Monday he will seek reelection to Congress.
The freshman House member’s announcement comes three days after his father was indicted on bribery charges and is facing calls to leave office.
“I am focused on working every single day to represent my neighbors to the best of my ability,” the young Menendez said in a statement. “And I will be running for reelection based on that record so I can continue to serve the residents of this district that I love, in stark contrast to those who may run to further their own naked political ambition.”
