NEWARK, N.J. – U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) today announced his 2023 Jersey Summer Road Trip, a series of stops highlighting New Jersey’s 21 counties and his commitment, as he marks 10 years in the U.S. Senate later this year, to fighting – and delivering – for the state’s priorities in Washington, D.C. Booker’s road trip will focus on his efforts to secure congressionally directed funding for critical projects; legislative priorities, such as addressing the opioid epidemic, countering the scourge of gun violence, and honoring New Jersey’s veterans; and his support of local businesses and organizations.
The road trip is scheduled to begin tomorrow, August 25th, with stops in Bergen, Warren, and Union counties before continuing over the weekend and into next week. The final day of Booker’s tour will include an event in Newark on August 31st to discuss community violence intervention strategies with the New Jersey Urban Mayors Association.
“My summer road trips are among the great joys of this job that New Jersey first elected me to nearly 10 years ago,” said Sen. Booker. “Hearing from people across our state fills me with energy and determination to fight every day for justice and opportunity for all New Jerseyans.”
