Booker Millionaire Filing Recasts Image Late in Election
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who lived in low-income housing and on food stamps to identify with his poor constituents, is acknowledging his status as a technology millionaire in the final stretch of his New Jersey campaign for U.S. Senate.
Booker, a Rhodes Scholar and Yale Law School graduate who is favored in the election, has cultivated a message similar to that of President Bill Clinton: both are politicians who graduated from Ivy League schools and skipped lucrative careers to enter public service. His wealth contrasts with his image living in a drug-infested neighborhood in New Jersey’s most populous city, where 26 percent of residents live in poverty.
