A native of northern New Jersey, Cory Booker’s passion for politics and justice was instilled at an early age by a family committed to change. His parents successfully fought against racial discrimination and shattered corporate ceilings, inspiring him to pursue a life of breaking barriers and working for change. On May 9, 2006, Cory Booker was elected Mayor of Newark, with a  landslide victory in Newark.  He was re-elected in 2010.  Booker brings his passion for social change to the podium.  His drive and commitment are inspirational to audiences across the country.
