Senator Cory Booker to Headline November 2023 Spratt Issues Conference in Spartanburg

Oct 30, 2023

Biden-Harris 2024 National Advisory Board member Senator Cory Booker will be the The South Carolina Democratic Party’s special guest speaker during the second weekend of our 2023 Spratt Issues Conference: First in the Nation: The Road to the White House Goes Through South Carolina taking place on November 18 in Spartanburg, South Carolina to speak about healthcare, abortion access, and more.

“We are so excited to have Senator Cory Booker back in the Palmetto State for our 2023 Spratt Issues Conference in Spartanburg,” said South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain. “Senator Booker has been a trailblazer in the Senate – pushing to protect the Affordable Care Act, advocating for Black maternal health, and fighting to protect abortion access for women across the country. As a National Advisory Board member for Biden-Harris 2024, he knows how important this next election is and he’s sure to energize our voters to get to the polls in February to keep President Biden and Vice President Harris in the White House.”

The 2023 Spratt Issues Conferences will take place over three weekends in Charleston, Spartanburg, and Columbia where Democrats from across the state will gather to discuss critical issues affecting the Palmetto State and equip our activists and party leaders with information about the tremendous accomplishments of Democrats as we gear up to send President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris back to the White House and elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2024.

About Senator Booker:

Senator Cory Booker has dedicated his life to fighting for those who have been left out, left behind, or left without a voice. As New Jersey’s junior Senator, Cory Booker has brought an innovative and consensus-building approach to tackling some of the most difficult problems facing New Jersey and our country. He has emerged as a national leader in the effort to fix our broken criminal justice system and end mass incarceration, helping craft the most sweeping set of criminal justice reforms in a generation, the First Step Act, which became law in December 2018. He has also advocated for economic policy that expands opportunity, increases wages, limits corporate concentration, and cracks down on corporate practices like outsourcing, stock buybacks, and no-poach agreements that firms use to keep wages down. And he has been a leader in the Senate in the fight to protect the Affordable Care Act, while also championing proposals to build upon the law, increase access to care, and lower costs.
