Robert Menendez is the Democratic Senator from New Jersey. Before becoming the state's Senator, Menendez represented New Jersey's 13th congressional district in the House of Representatives.

After 9/11, Robert Menendez has been nationally recognized in setting up an independent unit to investigate the attacks.
