WASHINGTON (AP) — New Jersey has a new U.S. senator after the August resignation of Democrat Bob Menendez. Sen. George Helmy, a Democrat and former chief
Sen. George Helmy, a Democrat and former chief of staff to New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, was sworn in on Monday and will serve in office for about two months until the November election. Democratic Rep. Andy Kim and Republican hotelier Curtis Bashaw are vying for the seat in November and the winner will immediately replace Helmy.
Murphy appointed Helmy to the temporary role after Menendez announced his intention to resign.

Helmy, 44, served as Murphy’s chief of staff from 2019 until 2023 and then served as an executive at one of the state’s largest health care providers, RWJBarnabas Health. He previously served as Booker’s state director in the Senate. He is the son of Egyptian parents who immigrated to New Jersey
“We wish him nothing but success and are ready to assist him however necessary in the weeks and months to come,” Schumer said.
