Cory Booker announces run for President [View all]

NCORY BOOKER ANNOUNCES RUN FOR PRESIDENT

Senator Cory Booker, former mayor of Newark, announced run for president in the 2020 election. The first New Jerseyan to do so in more than a generation.

Booker timed his announcement on the first day of Black History Month to maintain a sense of unity and pride with his campaign.

In an email to supporters, the U.S. senator from New Jersey wrote of the history of the Civil Rights movement that “channels our common pain back into our common purpose.”

An active user of social media, Booker posted a video on his Twitter account along with his announcement. https://bit.ly/2WWWwRB
