Laurel Canyon, California
Hailed by Esquire Magazine as one of the country's "40 Best and Brightest," Cory is one of the most dynamic new political leaders in our country. Cory studied at Stanford, Oxford, Yale, and is often referred to as someone who will be the first black President of the United States. He currently lives in the run down projects in Newark as a symbol of his commitment to doing all he can to change Newark for the better.
A younger and radically different alternative to the brash, corrupt politics of his Mayoral opponent in Newark, he is a media darling, praised by both parties for his post-partisan, post-radical politics. Part John Edwards, part Jesse Jackson, he is heralded as the mayoral version of Barack Obama.
Join us for breakfast as Cory shares his insight tackling inner city poverty and political corruption. (View Cory as featured in a new documentary on his race for Mayor https://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2005/streetfight/)
