The 44-year-old Mayor of New Jersey's largest city,
Cory Booker,
won a special election Wednesday to become the 4th Black man
ever elected to the United States Senate. Booker is a Democrat and has well over 1 million followers on twitter. He's also a
strong ally of the LGBT community.
Booker will join Republican Senator
Tim Scott from South Carolina as the only other African American to currently serve in the United States. When that happens, it will be a rare time in our nation's history
when there will be more than one Black member of the Senate at the same time.

And perhaps he'll become the next Black President, too.
I'd like to see that.
