In honor of Independence Day, LatinoVoices and Define American bring you personal stories from all walks of life on what it means to be American.
Senator Bob Menendez is a product of the 50s, born in New York City to Cuban immigrant parents. He entered the public service at the age of 19 as a college student and rose through the ranks to become the third-highest ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives– representing New Jersey’s 13th congressional district — to Senator of the Unites States since 2006.
From his days as Mayor of Union City (1986–1992), Menendez has fought to make health care more affordable, campaigned to improve the education system for generations to come and has led the fight to stop the privatization of Social Security.
