Cory Booker On New Jersey Governor Run: ‘When I Go Out Next Year And Campaign …’
Posted in: Today's ChiliNewark Mayor Cory Booker on Monday made what could be seen as a telling slip possibly indicating that he may challenge incumbent Chris Christie for governor of New Jersey in the upcoming 2013 election.
Booker’s comments came as part of an appearance on HuffPost Live, during which the mayor cited policy differences between himself and Christie. Asked if he would grade Christie’s performance as governor, Booker said he would not, but pointed to some of Christie’s policies with which he disagreed and which, he said, would be part of his campaign.
“When I analyze the governor’s work, I don’t want to give him some sort of simplistic, holistic grade,” Booker told HuffPost Live. “When I go out and campaign next year for myself as a gubernatorial candidate or for another gubernatorial candidate should I decide not to run — when I talk to crowds or to individuals advocating for whoever that candidate is, I’m not gonna do it on anything but the issues.”
