Democratic Mayors Commend U.S. Senator Booker’s Historic Senate Speech

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Democratic Mayors Association (DMA) President Mayor Justin M. Bibb issued the following statement in response to U.S. Senator Cory Booker's record-breaking Senate floor speech:

“Senator Cory Booker’s record-breaking speech in the Senate was a powerful stand for truth, justice, and the American people. At a time when our democracy is under attack and working families are being left behind, his leadership is a reminder that we must confront these challenges with urgency and conviction. While Trump and his allies push an agenda of chaos and division, Democratic mayors are focused on real solutions—expanding affordable housing, creating good-paying jobs, investing in education, and protecting critical programs like Social Security and Medicaid.

Our cities are on the frontlines of these battles, and we will not waver in our commitment to delivering results. We stand with Senator Booker in this fight, ensuring that our communities thrive despite the reckless actions of those who put politics over people. Now more than ever, we must lead with our values and remain relentless in our pursuit of progress.”
