Big news today out of both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. First off:

Senator Menendez should resign.

He’s entitled to the presumption of innocence, but he cannot continue to wield influence over national policy, especially given the serious and specific nature of the allegations.

I hope he chooses an honorable exit and focuses on his trial.

Here’s the second big news:

After calls to resign, Senator Menendez said “I am not going anywhere.” As a result, I feel compelled to run against him. Not something I expected to do, but NJ deserves better. We cannot jeopardize the Senate or compromise our integrity. Please join me:https://t.co/QFIaMsgJc9

I urge you to do two things: First, if you have a Democratic Senator, put pressure on them to call for Menendez’s resignation. Click here to contact your Senator.
