"The richness of America is that we are diverse. We're not Sweden. We're not Norway. We are a great A..." — Cory Booker

If you grew up where I grew up, you would experience a very different criminal justice system than Camden, New Jersey.

I have never articulated a specific number, but I think a nation as great as we are, that professes to favor freedom and liberty, that we would find a way to evidence that in our criminal justice system by achieving what we know we can achieve: a reduction in crime, a reduction in taxpayer expense, and a reduction in the prison population.

Innovators reimagine our world in so many areas. We need them to help reimagine what government can and should be.

My whole career has been marked by taking on the toughest problems, bringing people together, creating uncommon coalitions to ultimately produce uncommon results - things that people said couldn't be done.
