Menendez is now one of three (count ‘em, three) Latinos serving in the Senate. Menendez will be joining Democrat Ken Salazar of Colorado and Republican Mel Martinez of Florida. This makes Menendez the sixth Hispanic ever to serve in the Senate. Menendez is finishing out the term of John Corzine, who became the Garden State’s 54th governor.
