He grew up the son of Cuban immigrants in a tenement building in Union City and has risen to become one of 100 United States Senators. He is currently the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and served as Ranking Member in the 116th Congress. He has earned a national reputation for his international leadership in the Senate, which pairs with his long-time reputation as a fighter for New Jersey families who puts their economic security ahead of powerful special interests.
Bob knows that we need bold action on climate change, and we need it now. From fighting offshore drilling, to calling for a speedy transition to a net-zero economy and supporting renewable energy, Bob will always fight to ensure New Jersey is, and will continue to be, a leader in climate action. He also understands that a healthy environment is critical to the health and quality of life of New Jerseyans, and is fighting to protect our clean air and water, clean up our Superfund sites, and keep our oceans pristine and healthy.
