Candidate Overview

Booker has not pledged to fix democracy first.

While he has spoken out about the harmful effects of voter suppression and gerrymandering, he has yet to put forward concrete policy proposals that would solve these problems. He has also not addressed how he would change the way campaigns are funded.

In His Own Words
