Cory Booker

Cory Booker

U.S. Senator From New Jersey

Announced Feb. 1, 2019

Cory Booker announced his candidacy for the presidency on February 1, 2019. Booker is the junior US Senator from New Jersey and has been since 2013. Before that he was the 36th mayor of Newark, New Jersey (2006-2013).

However, his candidacy may be facing a rocky road since he is under fire for allegedly mishandling two $100 million donations from Facebook while he was the mayor of Newark. One of the donations was meant to be used to reform Newark’s public school system.

Politically, Booker is considered to be a social liberal and supports women’s rights, affirmative action, same-sex marriage, abortion rights, and single-payer health care. On foreign policy he has spoken out against military action without a clear plan and authorization from Congress. He supports scaling down military operations in Afghanistan and is against intervention in Syria. Despite these solidly Democratic positions, he does have one area of advocacy that most Democrats would consider to be a defect. He backed charter schools and vouchers when he was mayor.

Cory Anthony Booker was born on April 27, 1969, in Washington, DC but grew up in New Jersey. He attended Stanford University and Yale Law School. He also studied abroad at the University of Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship. He has never been married but is considered to be a very eligible bachelor. He describes himself as a “straight male” who is looking for someone to settle down with. He is a vegetarian, exercises regularly, does not drink, “and has no known vices” (Wikipedia).

Announced July 28, 2017.

John Delaney, a US House representative from Maryland (2013-2019), announced his intention to retire from Congress and run for president in July 2017. This made him the first Democratic contender.

Many view John Delaney as a centrist or moderate who is courting Republican support, but he, himself, says he is liberal and progressive. He says he is also somewhat moderate in that he is solution-oriented. Many of his positions are more traditionally Republican than Democratic—like favoring some tax breaks for big business. But he has Democratic positions as well, such as raising the minimum wage and letting Americans buy into Medicare at age 55.

John Delaney was born on April 16, 1963, in New Jersey. His father was an electrician and neither of his parents attended college. He attended Columbia University on a scholarship from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and then went on to Georgetown Law School.

Mike Gravel

Ex-US Senator from AK

Age 88

On April 8, 2019, Mike Gravel announced his candidacy for the presidency. Although he is now retired, he was a politician of some renown. He was a Democratic US senator from Alaska (1969-1981). Before that, he was a member of the Alaska House of Representatives (1963-1967). He also was a candidate for the US presidency in 2008. In the Senate, he was something of a maverick, and he is remembered for getting the Pentagon Papers into the public record in 1971. This was a dangerous thing for him to do at the time. In addition to the Pentagon Papers episode, he is known for his impassioned opposition to the Vietnam War.

Gravel has said he is running for the presidency to promote his message of anti-imperialism and direct democracy. He hopes to get the 65,000 donations he needs to take part in the debates, and then he plans to leave the race and throw his support to the most progressive candidate. He said, “The goal will not be to win, but to bring a critique of American imperialism to the Democratic debate stage.” His website summary platform has four points: a foreign policy of peace, an attack on poverty and inequality, justice for all, and fundamental political reform. His entire platform of 29 pages is too lengthy to list here, but you can read it at this link. It is a wish list that most progressive Democrats would see in their dreams. The Gravel campaign is being run by some very Internet-savvy teens, and they gave it the title “Gravelanche.”

Maurice Robert “Mike” Gravel was born on May 13,1930, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He will be 89 in May. Before entering college, he served in the US Army in West Germany. After his military service, he entered Columbia University’s School of General Studies and received a BS in Economics in 1956. He then moved to Alaska in the late 1950s and became a real estate developer before becoming a politician in 1963. His second and current wife is Whitney Stewart, and he has two children from his first marriage (Wikipedia).

Bernie sanders

On February 19, 2019, Bernie Sanders, junior U.S. Senator from Vermont, announced that he is running for president in 2020. This is his second run, having lost to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primaries. He enters the crowded Democratic campaign field from a position of strength compared to his 2016 run. His political positions, considered then to be far left, are now accepted by the mainstream party, and he is running high in the polls on predicted Democratic primary winners. However, at this point he is the oldest candidate in the race. He is 77 and will be 79 by November of 2020.

Sanders describes himself as a democratic socialist and progressive. "I don't believe government should take over the grocery store down the street or own the means of production, but I do believe that the middle class and the working families who produce the wealth of America deserve a decent standard of living and that their incomes should go up, not down. I do believe in private companies that thrive and invest and grow in America, companies that create jobs here, rather than companies that are shutting down in America and increasing their profits by exploiting low-wage labor abroad."

Bernard Sanders was born on September 8, 1941, in New York City and describes himself as Jewish but not very involved with organized religion. He is currently married to Jane O’Meara and has one son from a former relationship. Although both now and in 2016 he has run as a Democratic candidate for president, he has been an independent since he began his political career in 1981 as the Mayor of Burlington, Vermont (Wikipedia).
