Cory Booker is a Senator for New Jersey, elected in 2013. He was previously elected mayor of Newark in 2006, and had served as a Newark City Councilor from 1998 to 2002.
He has gained a reputation for his personal involvement in public service, including going on a ten-day hunger strike outdoors to draw attention to the dangers of open-air drug dealing, living on a "food stamp" budget to raise awareness of food insecurity, shoveling the driveway of a constituent upon request, and allowing Hurricane Sandy victims into his home.
These are donors that support a variety of progressive minded causes. |
