NEWARK, NJ — Newark mayor Cory Booker has won widespread praise in the past of his hands on efforts with his cities residents. When it comes to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, he’s burnished his reputation even further, by offering up his home to victims of the storm.

Hurricane Sandy hit the state of New Jersey head-on when it made landfall on Monday, decimating the Jersey shoreline and knocking out power to over a million people.

In the storm’s aftermath, the Newark mayor has been tweeting non-stop, offering updates on power outages, calming frazzled constituents and checking up on those in need.

And now he’s inviting neighbors without power to seek refuge at his house.
