Robert John Hugin (born July 23, 1954)[1][2] is an American businessman who was formerly the executive chairman of Celgene, a biopharmaceutical company.[3][4] Hugin was the Republican nominee in the 2018 United States Senate election in New Jersey, where he was defeated by incumbent Democratic senator Bob Menendez.[5][6]
In 2020, he ran for chairman of the New Jersey Republican Party, but was defeated by former Hackettstown mayor Michael Lavery.[7][8] In 2021, following his victory in the Republican gubernatorial primary, former state assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli endorsed Hugin to lead the state Republican Party.[9] Because the party's gubernatorial nominee traditionally selects the party chair, Hugin replaced Lavery without any opposition.[10]
