Rep. Andy Kim wins NJ Senate seat previously held by Bob Menendez


Full story

New Jersey voters elected Democratic Rep. Andy Kim as their next Senator. Kim defeated Republican candidate Curtis Bashaw, a hotelier and restaurateur on the Jersey shore.

Kim will take the seat of former Sen. Bob Menendez, who resigned after being found guilty of bribery, fraud, extortion and acting as a foreign agent.

Kim was first elected to the House in 2018 after flipping the third district in central New Jersey. The district covers portions of central New Jersey. Kim currently sits on the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees.
