    It's a shame that tonight's won't reflect the diversity of our party. I'm not going to be on the stage, but our pathway to victory is still very real. If you're with me, chip in now so we can keep spreading our message to voters:
  • As we gather with loved ones for the holidays, a haunting story of the violence migrant families face trying to secure better lives. In this season of love, I pray we find the empathy to change our immoral immigration policies. This is a crisis in our power to end.
  • Our next president should fight for the well-being of animals. I've been a proud supporter of animal welfare causes for my entire career—and I'll continue to be when I'm in the Oval Office.
  • We don't always have to agree, but we must be there for each other. We must empower each other. We must find common ground and build bridges across our differences to pursue the common good.

    We’re hitting the road for day 2 of the for America bus tour! We’ll be heading to Sioux Center, Spencer, and Mason City. Come hang out with us >>
  • We must drive investment and economic opportunity in rural communities that have been left out and left behind by the Trump Administration. Every region of America—not just a few cities along our coasts—should share in our country's prosperity.
  • John Dingell devoted his life to public service, and he continues to inspire today. Grateful for his example and for continuing to build on this remarkable legacy.
  • I was in Iowa last night making calls to voters who were frustrated that we talked more about wine caves than gun violence or reproductive rights during the . We can’t tear each other down if we’re going to beat Trump & get rid of McConnell—that's what I'm focused on.
  • Discrimination has no place in our nation. We must stop this despicable HHS proposal that uses taxpayer dollars for programs that allow discrimination against LGBTQ people, religious minorities & other marginalized groups. Please share & comment:

    .: "Let the politics take care of itself. This is an American moment, not a partisan one. We should do our jobs, all of us to do our duty, even though this President seems to have betrayed his."
  • So excited to kick off this 4-day bus tour through Iowa! 🚌 900 miles 🚌 11 counties 🚌 12 events
  • Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat other people. Before you tell me how much you love your God, show me in how much you love all His children.
  • I may not have been on the debate stage last night, but our campaign is surging where it matters—on the ground with voters.

  • From Iowa to Nevada, New Hampshire to South Carolina, and every place in between, volunteers are the heart of this campaign. Remember—if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together. Thank you for spending your evening with me talking to voters!

    Cory Booker is phone banking in Iowa tonight as other Democrats debate in Los Angeles. The first caller, Suzette, seemed to express frustration that Booker wasn’t onstage tonight, judging by his end of the conversation. He agreed, “it’s frustrating to me as well.”

    There wasn’t enough room for us at HQ because it’s literally that full of volunteers, so we relocated to Panera down the street because we’ve got a bus tour to build for!

    .⁦⁩ may not be on the debate stage, but he's on the world stage just the same. Here at his central Iowa HQ, there's national media, a huge crowd of supporters here to phone bank, and soon, Cory himself!

    Don’t know which sounds better - the excitement of first time phonebankers reaching out to their neighbors or the sound of folks to signing up to see in action on this week’s Cory Booker for America bus tour 🚎❤️💙🖤
  • We can’t just beat Trump—we need to regain the Senate & send McConnell home. Our party’s candidate must be able to revive the Obama coalition & win diverse states from Arizona to North Carolina. That’s what I bring to this race & why my campaign is now seeing a surge in support.

    We're proud to announce that North Las Vegas City Councilwoman is endorsing for president! Welcome to Team Cory!
  • This is big, team! Today we're airing our campaign's first TV ad. RT to help spread the news and chip in now to help us run more like it:
  • As this process heads to the Senate for trial, I'll uphold my sacred oath to protect & defend the Constitution. This trial demands an impartial & thorough review of the evidence. We must be presented with relevant witnesses & documents, and follow the evidence where it leads.
  • The three-month House impeachment process has uncovered alarming evidence that an American president used his official power for personal gain, put our national security at risk, and obstructed the investigation. Today is a sad moment for our country.
  • Mark your calendars—today we filed our paperwork to participate in the Nevada Caucus. Saturday, February 22 we bring home a win!
  • One year ago, our bill, the First Step Act, became law—a major bipartisan win to help end mass incarceration. When I got to DC, they said we couldn’t reform our broken justice system, but by building uncommon coalitions we got this done, saving lives.

    In this exclusive op-ed for Shondaland, explains why he's the best candidate to bring the country together.
  • The first scene here is the elementary school Ruby Bridges integrated in 1960. The second is across the street from a Des Moines elementary school attended by a majority of students of color—today. The fight against racism continues.
     
  • Women of color have been on the front lines of movements—and in front of the line at the voting booth—in this country. Honored to know many of these trailblazers and grateful for the work they do fighting for our democracy. Congrats, well deserved!
