Westfield, NJ – Following Bob Hugin’s announcement that he will seek the Republican nomination as a candidate for United States Senate, Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean released the following statement:

“Bob Hugin is a man of great character and accomplishment. His experience as a Marine veteran, self-made business leader and generous philanthropist more than qualify him to represent New Jersey in the United States Senate. His candidacy provides a beacon of hope for the people of this state who are tired of a sending a Senator with a shameful void in ethical standards to Washington. Bob Hugin has my full, enthusiastic support in his campaign to unseat Bob Menendez.”
