United States Senator Cory Booker today endorsed Senator Joseph Cryan and Assemblywoman Annette Quijano for re-election along with Reverend Reginald Atkins for the Assembly seat formerly held by Jamel Holley.

“Over the past year we have seen the devastating impacts misinformation and a lack of leadership have had as the coronavirus ravaged our country,” said Booker.  “Senator Cryan, Assemblywoman Quijano and Reverend Atkins have been leaders in their community, recognizing quickly the importance of providing residents with fact-based information while working to make sure our frontline workers have the resources they need.  We need thoughtful, responsible partners on all levels of government to make sure we finally move past this horrific period in our history and Joe Cryan, Annette Quijano and Reginald Atkins are those partners.”

Assemblyman Cryan, Assemblywoman Quijano and Reverend Atkins thanked Senator Booker for his endorsement and also for his work in the United States Senate:

“Senator Booker has worked and sacrificed to help lead us through the darkness of the past year.  The Senator fought President Trump and his misguided coronavirus policies every step of the way while he led the charge for personal protective equipment for our frontline workers.  Our country has experienced so much loss over the past year because of misinformation and paranoia emanating from the internet and working its way from some of our leaders directly into our streets and neighborhoods.  We would like to thank Senator Booker for his dedicated service and powerful voice during these truly unprecedented times.”
