Hugin slammed for anti-women, anti-gay record

The newest issue in the already heated race for United States Senate is Bob Hugin’s record on women and gays after news broke last week that as a Princeton University student – and alumni – he was part of a private eating club that fought to block women from becoming members.

So far, all voters really know about Hugin is what he’s said about himself and his opponent on television, where he’s spent about $1 million a week in a self-funded campaign to oust two-term U.S. Senator Bob Menendez. Menendez has not spent money attacking Hugin.

The former Celgene chairman went public with his role as president of Princeton’s Tiger Club last week, likely to get out in front of the issue before others attacked him for it.

“Everyone evolves over time. I view many things differently today than I did 25 years ago,” said Hugin. “Personally, I wish I had taken a leadership role in making it happen sooner.”
