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.
What’s good for the middle class is good for New Jersey and the nation. That’s why Bob is fighting for pro-growth economic policies that increase wages, empower the middle class, and foster social mobility—from training programs that prepare workers for jobs in demand to tax policies that penalize outsourcing and encourage companies to create good-paying jobs here in America. Bob is leading the fight in the Senate to fully restore the property and state income tax write-off so New Jerseyans won’t be hit with double taxation and has fought for fair trade policies so New Jersey workers and businesses can compete on a level playing field.
