(86,005 posts)5. Cory rocked this charity event
...it's a regular feature with him to visit barbershops and meet with members of the community there, organizing, or just outreach.
and he's rocking his current job:
Booker has won over some of his critics in recent years, notably Newarks current mayor, Ras Baraka, who has developed what allies of both men characterize as a strong partnership with Booker.
During Bookers time in Newark, Baraka represented the South Ward on the council. It was Sharpe Jamess base and a hotbed of anti-Booker sentiment. Baraka was a prominent opponent of the schools plan.
In a phone call with Yahoo News, Baraka said Booker has done an outstanding job as United States senator in opposing Trump administration appointments and in advocating for Newark in Washington. He cited Bookers successful push to include opportunity zones in the tax reform bill last year. The program, which evolved from a proposal by Booker and South Carolina Republican Tim Scott, provides tax benefits for businesses that invest in census tracts designated by governors as areas in need of growth. Baraka even has kind words for his former foes tenure as mayor.
He laid the foundation for a lot of things. People began to look at our city differently because of Corys presence here, Baraka said.
Barakas campaign has conducted polling for his reelection bid that found Booker currently has a 78 percent approval rating in Newark. Booker even has the backing of John Sharpe James, the current South Ward councilman and son of Bookers fiercest rival.
