Sen. Menendez to head key political committee

New Jersey U.S. Sen. Robert Mendendez is taking over as head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, giving him the reins to a key political operation charged with raising money and winning seats across the nation.

The job gives Menendez a high-profile post not quite three years into his tenure in the Senate. He becomes the first Hispanic to head a campaign committee in either the House or Senate, according to the DSCC.

Menendez takes over for New York Sen. Charles Schumer.

Previous New Jersey Sens. Jon Corzine (now governor) and Robert Torricelli have also chaired the commitee in recent years.

We'll have more details in tomorrow's Inquirer.
