Cory A. Booker: “It has been 84 days since 1,700 nurses went on strike at Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) University Hospital.”

I am proud that this Jersey boy, straight out of Jersey City, a city known for extraordinary immigrants making extraordinary contributions to our country, will continue in that tradition.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

We must continue to build on the successes of the First Step Act.
