'Hope still needs heroes,' Cory Booker tells Warren County Democrats

'Hope still needs heroes,' Cory Booker tells Warren County Democrats

PHILLIPSBURG — Newark Mayor Cory Booker and Democrats running for top seats in state government issued a call on Sunday for Warren County's Democrats to mobilize.

"We've come a mighty long way as a country. There is so much to be hopeful for, but the struggle is not over," Booker said. "The dream of America still demands, hope still needs heroes, and we are the ones that must join together and form that conspiracy."

The Warren County Democratic Committee hosted Booker and Lieutenant Governor candidate Milly Silva, running mate of gubernatorial candidate Barbara Buono, at a fundraiser in Phillipsburg on Sunday, Aug. 25.

Booker, who is running for the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg's U.S. Senate seat against Republican Steve Lonegan in a special election Oct. 16, asked for people to take action in their local government, calling Warren County's Democrats "critically important."
