#MondayMorningDrive My Pick… The Honorable Cory Booker (@corybooker), Mayor of Newark, New Jersey

Whether or not you agree with his platform or ideals, there is one thing that Mayor Booker does and that is engage the citizens of Newark to participate.  As a former government official, I get excited to see politicians that can move their constituents.  Through his award winning Sundance Channel series, “Brick City” the world for the past few seasons has been introduced to some of the challenges within the City, his administration’s practices and the reaction (both positive and negative) of Newark citizens to it all.

Mayor Booker is effecting change and is one of the best leaders I’ve seen in some time. He does not run from challenges. In fact, he encourages and responds to citizen complaints, praises and SOS needs via social media as you can often catch him tweeting from his @CoryBooker twitter account.

 Innovative, responsive, refreshing, progressive and servant leader..that’s Cory Booker!
