Senator Menendez should resign.
Faith, you have probably heard about the allegations against Senator Bob Menendez. A lengthy and detailed indictment lays out charges of bribery and of corrupt foreign dealings against the Senator from New Jersey.
Senator Menendez is entitled to the presumption of innocence under our system, but he is not entitled to continue to wield influence over national policy, especially given the serious and specific nature of the allegations.
He should choose an honorable exit and resign.
As of right now, it seems as if my colleague is refusing to step down and is continuing to campaign for re-election. But a serious primary challenger, Representative Andy Kim, has announced he'll run against Bob Menendez.
So I'm writing this to you today with an unusual request. I'm asking if you'll split a donation between our campaign and Andy Kim. Will you chip in today?
This request isn't a traditional political endorsement. I want to be clear — I am not endorsing Andy Kim or anyone right now. But I am committed to ensuring that Senator Menendez has a rigorous primary opponent in case he makes the ill-advised decision to continue running for re-election, for the sake of the people he represents.
We have to root out corruption from our political system, no matter what party these allegations are against.
That's why I'm hoping that you split a donation between me and Andy Kim today, because our neighbors in New Jersey deserve a Senator they can trust and believe has the best interests of their constituents as their priority on Capitol Hill.

Thanks for your support, Faith.
❤️ John

U.S. Senator, Pennsylvania
