Booker is among many Democratic candidates who have already announced their bid for president — his announcement happening just a year in advance of the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucus.

“The history of our nation is defined by collective action; by interwoven destinies of slaves and abolitionists; of those born here and those who chose America as home; of those who took up arms to defend our country, and those who linked arms to challenge and change it,” Booker said in a campaign video released Friday.

Booker is scheduled to visit Iowa on Feb. 8 and 9, CNN reported.
