CAMDEN - While New Jersey residents are unlikely to see Gov. Chris Christie ride into Margate with a mop, U.S. Sen. Cory Booker appeared in Camden Tuesday morning, two snow shovels slung over his shoulders.
The Democrat and former Newark mayor joined Camden Mayor Dana Redd, Camden County Freeholder Bill Moen and volunteers with the city's PowerCorps program to shovel out sidewalks, driveways and even an entire street.
Zaquan Smith, Keith White and Shannon Murphy, all PowerCorps volunteers, helped Booker, Redd, Moen and public works employees shovel and salt the slick walkways. Booker called the three "Camden superstars."
"It feels good to help," said Smith, an 18-year-old from Centerville. "This is what I signed up to do."
Asked what brought him to Camden — rather than any other city in the state also grappling with too much snow — Booker called Redd "one of the best mayors in the state."
