Corey Booker, practically a personal hero of mine at this point, was in Detroit last week campaigning for President Obama and stopped in the WDET studios to have a chat with Craig Fahle.

What resulted was a pretty thought-provoking conversation from a guy that is currently tackling many of Detroit’s problems (successfully) in Newark. From identifying unique funding platforms to create a culture of entrepreneurship to increasing public safety by employing experimental equipment like gunshot technology, Booker is quickly creating an administration in Newark that is getting stuff done. Plain and simple. His words about unifying the efforts and voice of the city and putting aside partisan lines in an effort to just create actionable steps every day is quite inspiring. I’ve always said a guy like Corey Booker would be loved in Detroit, and hearing this conversation on the Craig Fahle Show only reinforces that assertion.
