HCDO Endorses Rep. Menendez For Re-Election, Fulop NOT On Board

Freshman Congressman Rob Menendez (D – District 8) received the endorsement of the Hudson County Democratic Organization (HCDO) on Friday, with all but three of Hudson County’s mayors on board.  County Executive-elect Craig Guy is backing Rep. Menendez, but Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, who has the support of the HCDO in his bid to become Governor in 2025, is not supporting the Congressman.

In a statement released by Fulop on Monday, he made it very clear that the legal troubles faced by the Congressman’s father, United States Senator Bob Menendez, led to his decision not to support the younger Menendez for re-election.
