NJ Senator Cory Booker to visit Beaufort

From staff reports

Sen. Cory Booker (D) of New Jersey will visit Beaufort on Sunday, Jan. 18, as part of the South Carolina Democratic Party’s “On the Road With Senator Cory Booker” tour. 

During the tour, Sen. Booker will join state and local Democratic leaders for a series of events and conversations with South Carolinians focused on the challenges facing working Americans under Trump and Republicans’ policies, in particular, the skyrocketing cost of health care. 

At the events, Booker will discuss the importance of organizing everywhere in order to confront the moral moment America is facing right now, and the urgent need to stand up for affordable health care. 

Doors will open to the public for Booker’s Beaufort appearance at 1 p.m. The exact time and venue for the event will be announced.

Booker originally scheduled a Beaufort event in November but was forced to postpone.

Booker last visited Beaufort in April of 2019, when he held a rally at Whale Branch Middle School while campaigning for the Democratic nomination for President in 2020.
