Detroit-county sheriff endorses Booker for president
BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 08/21/19 11:02 AM EDT
The sheriff of Michigan's Wayne County, which includes Detroit, endorsed Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) for president on Wednesday.
"I have known Cory Booker for years and continue to be personally inspired by his comprehensive plans to take on criminal justice reform, combat gun violence and address the rise in violence incited by white nationalism, Sheriff Benny Napoleon (D) said in a statement to the Detroit News.
He understands the problems facing urban communities and communities of color, and is ready to lead with compassion and strength," he continued. "I believe that the Democratic Party should nominate Cory because he is just the candidate we need to energize voters in places like Detroit, who are essential to winning back the White House in 2020."
Booker has struggled to gain traction in the crowded Democratic primary despite his high profile. The senator garnered just two percent support in a CNN survey released on Tuesday.

It is good for him to get some endorsements outside his state of NJ.
