Cory Booker, mayor of Newark, is currently tackling criminal justice reform. Mainly, removing drug quantities of low level drug offenders who do not have gang affiliations or large-scale drug operations. Major crime reform — heavy sentences given to low level drug offenders who do not have gang affiliations or ties to large scale drug operation — is one of his major platforms. Also, Booker is known for his passion and dedication for making positive changes. He recently won a special election to fill New Jersey’s U.S. Senate’s seat.
