The former popular and transformative mayor of Newark, Cory Booker is currently the junior United States senator from New Jersey. During his time as mayor he earned a national reputation for hands-on involvement in public service, foundational economic development projects, and political transparency. A former football player and master’s degree recipient at Stanford, a Rhodes Scholar, and Yale Law School graduate, Booker has earned accolades including the U.S. John Heinz Award for Greatest Public Service, multiple honorary doctorates, and seats on several university boards.
