Cory Booker Making Campaign Stop in Cherry Hill Wednesday

Newark mayor and U.S. Senate Democratic primary frontrunner Cory Booker will be in Cherry Hill Wednesday evening for a stop at the Camden County Democratic Party headquarters.

The visit by Booker, who has been endorsed by the Camden County Democrats, is slated for 5 p.m. at the party's offices in the Garden State Pavilions center on Route 70.

The Newark mayor is also going for a run through in Camden as part of the stop, starting from Camden High School on Park Boulevard at 8:15 p.m.

One of four Democrats running for the nomination in October’s special election, Booker currently holds a commanding lead over U.S. Reps. Rush Holt and Frank Pallone and state Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, with a Quinnipiac poll conducted earlier this month giving him a 42-point lead in the primary race.

The primaries for the special Senate election are set for Aug. 13, with the special general election slated for Oct. 16.
