Meritocracy update: the son of Bob Menendez, Rob, has already been pre-anointed as the next Congressman from this part of northern New Jersey, taking his dad’s old seat in the House. They’ll be the only father-son duo in Congress

The only Republican candidate
Marcos Arroyo, a housing inspector from West New York, has won the backing of the Hudson County Republican organization to run for the open congressional seat in New Jersey’s 8th district.
“We need a Congressman who will fight inflation, bring back energy independence and educational choice, and help make our constituents lives better,” stated Arroyo.
The retirement of Rep. Albio Sires (D-West New York ) creates the first open House seat in Hudson County since 2006. The front runner for the Democratic nomination is Robert J. Menendez, a Port Authority commissioner and the son of Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez.
Arroyo worked on relief efforts after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2011 and following Hurricanes Sandy and Maria. He also volunteers in a training program that has helped immigrants become U.S. citizens.
Will he get anointed the next Senator when his father shuffles off?

Probably. We are seeing that more & more. Sometimes they don’t even bother with an election. I suspect we will see that more and more until the various states forego elections entirely in those hereditary districts and Senate Seats
Like the Dingell seat in Michigan. It was been in the family for 90 years and counting.
Neato. Does he fly to the Dominican Republic to have sex with barely-teen girls like dad ? Figure they get a 2-for-1 deal.
My gosh...Democrats family business: Politics. Get a congressional district, keep it in the Family.
This cretin will be my congressman, replacing former RINO turned Dem hack Albio Sires.
Lucky ewe. For the first time in 150 years, I’ll get a GOP Congressman out of Nashville (actually, three of them). Your seat hasn’t elected one (albeit partly) since 1956 (and that guy, Vincent Dellay, promptly switched to Demonrat within a year of winning).
Republicans do the same. It’s a big club and you aren’t in it.
