Booker to raise money for Burlco Dems

Cory Booker was off the campaign trail after taking office as Mayor of Newark last July.  But with high approvals -- a recent Fairleigh Dickinson University poll rated Booker as the most popular Democrat in the state -- it appears that the rising star will begin to spread his political wings.  He will headline the Burlington County Democratic Party's Jefferson Jackson Day Dinner on April 13, and a $1,000-per-person private pre-dinner event at the home of former Florio Chief Counsel Andrew Weber.Â
