U.S. Representative before election Rob Menendez Democratic Elected U.S. Representative Rob Menendez Democratic

The 8th district is majority Hispanic and contains the urban areas of Elizabeth, Hoboken, and Union City, as well as parts of Newark and Jersey City. The incumbent was Democrat Rob Menendez, who was elected to a first term with 73.62% of the vote in 2022.^[1] Menendez was believed to be vulnerable to a primary challenge due to ties to his father, Senator Bob Menendez, who was facing controversy due to a number of federal corruption charges. However, he received support from high-profile Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and was able to win renomination by a 15-point margin.^[197][198]
