New York: In the 8th Congressional District race in North Jersey, incumbent Rob Menendez, the son of Sen. Bob Menendez, defeated challenger Indian American Ravi Bhalla, the mayor of Hoboken, and businessman Kyle Jasey.
The race was overshadowed by the federal corruption and bribery trial of Menendez’s father, but that did not derail his son’s campaign.
The 8th Congressional District includes parts of Essex, Hudson, and Union counties.
