Columbia, SC — Following Wednesday's debate — where Cory Booker commanded the audience and proved, once again, why he is the strongest candidate in this race — Cory for South Carolina announced that seven South Carolina elected officials, activists, and community leaders endorsed him in this race.

"In question after question, he presented his vision for our country and showed why he is the best candidate to unify this nation and take on Donald Trump. As Cory said, 'At this moral moment in America, we need leaders who will inspire us to fight again' — and that's exactly what he will do as our nominee and as our president. We're proud to have these leaders stand with us in this fight."
