Sen. Bob Menendez files to run as an independent candidate for reelection, stating 'independent doesn't mean I'm changing' parties.
Menendez emphasizes his accomplishments for New Jersey, faces competition from U.S. Rep. Andy Kim, as GOP hasn't won state's U.S. Senate election since 1972.
Menendez, charged with federal bribery, denies allegations, portraying prosecution accusations as an attempt to sell his office for personal gain.
Political stakes are high, with Menendez's independent candidacy potentially influencing Senate control amid Democratic majority and Republican historical struggles in the state.
