As your Senator, my number one priority will be ensuring economic security, fighting for economic fairness and putting New Jerseyans back to work in good-paying jobs.

Booker promised that, as senator, his top priority would be economic security, economic fairness, and creating good-paying jobs for New Jerseyans.
