New Jersey voters are electing a new U.S. senator for the first time in over a decade today. Rep. Andy Kim, a Democrat, and Republican businessman Curtis Bashaw are running in the closely-watched race to replace convicted Sen.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Andy Kim was elected Tuesday to the U.S. Senate, defeating Republican businessman Curtis Bashaw for the seat that opened when Bob Menendez resigned this year after his federal conviction on bribery charges.

Andy Kim, the millennial son of South Korean immigrants and three-term Democratic congressman, was elected to the U.S. Senate in a historic win that upended New Jersey politics and gives Kim the distinction of being the country’s first Korean American senator.
