Cory Booker ended his presidential campaign on January 13, 2020.

In his own words: “I was taught from a young age that we must work to help those less fortunate than we are. While climate change is a threat to all of us, it is low income communities, communities of color and indigenous communities who today and in the future will suffer the most from climate change. As a Senator I have made environmental justice a top priority, and I will continue to do so on the campaign trail and in the White House — and there is no bigger environmental justice issue than climate change.

Further, I draw motivation to take bold action to address the climate crisis from my faith.

Booker tells KNIA News his position on fixing climate change works as a way to invigorate the rural economy all at the same time. “There is no way out of the climate crisis we are in without farmers leading the way.
