SUE ALTMAN CALLS ON SEN. MENENDEZ TO RESIGN

Lambertville, NJ – Sue Altman, Democratic candidate for New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, issued the following statement on the indictment against Senator Bob Menendez.

“As someone who has spent my career fighting corruption in New Jersey, the allegations against Senator Menendez are extremely concerning and the evidence presented in the indictment is both extensive and damning. I have faith that the Department of Justice will carry out this investigation and prosecution fairly and in the best interests of the American people.

At a time when one party is attacking democracy and the rule of law, Democrats have a responsibility to uphold those values.

Sen. Menendez should resign.”

After leading her Voorhees High School basketball team to local championships, Sue played college basketball at Columbia University and professional basketball abroad, earned two graduate degrees from Oxford University in the UK, then went on to become a teacher and successful basketball coach–leading two teams to state championships.

For the last several years, Sue has served as Executive Director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, a non-profit organization focused on fighting political corruption in Trenton, fighting against the waste of taxpayer dollars, and making New Jersey a better place to live for everyone.

Sue has seen firsthand that rising costs and unfair taxes–including the Trump-era SALT deduction cap–are making it harder for the people of the 7th District to raise families, own homes, and retire in their own communities. Driven by a deep commitment to keep fighting for those communities where she was raised, Sue is now taking her years of experience advocating for a fairer system that works for all New Jerseyans and is running for Congress in her home district.
