NEWARK, NJ – M. Teresa Ruiz, NJ State Senator, released the following statement showing her support for New Jersey’s Senior U.S. Senator, Bob Menendez:
“Senator Menendez has always been a champion for the Latino community, not only in fighting for comprehensive immigration reform, but fighting for Latinas to earn equal pay for equal work, and for young Latinos to have a chance to receive a college degree. He has been our leader, willing to always fight back when our community is threatened and has long demonstrated a commitment to ensure we are part of the debate regardless of our last name or where we come from. He understands we share common values — that we are one nation, diverse but indivisible. Yet, there are still some who want to keep millions in the shadows or take away quality affordable healthcare for women. With Bob on our side defending us, our voices will always be heard and the fight will never cease until every barrier is taken down.”
