Rep. Watson Coleman Calls on Senator Menendez to Resign

Ewing, NJ (July 16, 2024) — Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) released a statement following the conviction of Senator Bob Menendez:

Though this is a sad day for New Jersey, I find solace in the fact that justice was done. I commend the jury for their fairness, impartiality, and commitment to upholding the rule of law.

It is clear following his conviction that Senator Menendez cannot effectively represent the state of New Jersey in the United States Senate. For the good of our great state he must resign.
