Meet New Jersey's new Senator: George Helmy

WNYC News

Senator George Helmy was sworn into office this month to fill the remainder of former Senator Bob Menendez’s term, after the Hudson County Democrat was convicted on corruption charges earlier this year. Helmy’s time in our nation’s capital will be fleeting. He’s set to step down after November’s election to make room for the winner of the contest between Democratic Congressman Andy Kim and Republican Curtis Bashaw.

Senator Helmy talks with WNYC's Sean Carlson about his plans for his brief time in the Senate.
