Timeline

1984

Charles Booker (born October 20, 1984) is an American politician from the commonwealth of Kentucky.

Booker was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on October 20, 1984, to parents who both dropped out of high school to tend to siblings.

Booker graduated from Louisville Male High School.

He earned a Bachelor of Science in political science and Juris Doctor from the University of Louisville.

2014

Booker worked for the Legislative Research Commission until 2014, when he was fired for violating a staff policy against partisan political activity after appearing in a campaign video of Alison Lundergan Grimes, a candidate in the 2014 United States Senate election in Kentucky.

He then worked for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and West Louisville FoodPort.

2016

In 2016, he ran against Gerald Neal in the Democratic Party primary election for the 33rd district of the Kentucky Senate.

Booker finished in third place with 20 percent of the vote, behind Neal, who received 48 percent, and Joan Stringer, who received 32 percent.

2018

Following Darryl Owens' retirement from representing the 43rd district in the Kentucky House of Representatives in 2018, Booker ran to succeed him.

In a field of seven candidates, Booker won the Democratic nomination with 29.5 percent of the vote, and defeated Republican Everett Corley in the general election by 56 percent.

As part of the Kentucky House of Representatives, Booker served on the economic development and workforce, judiciary, and natural resources and energy committees.

2019

He served in the Kentucky House of Representatives, representing the 43rd district from 2019 to 2021.

During his term, he was Kentucky's youngest Black state lawmaker.

2020

Booker was a candidate in the Democratic Party's primary for the 2020 U.S. Senate race in Kentucky, drawing national attention before ultimately losing a close race to former Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath.

In April 2021, Booker formed an exploratory committee for the 2022 U.S. Senate race in Kentucky, and formally announced that he was running on July 1, 2021.

He won the primary on May 17 but lost to incumbent Republican Rand Paul in the general election.

Booker is the first African American to be a major party nominee for U.S. Senate in Kentucky.

Following his defeat, Booker was appointed by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear to lead the Governor's Office of Faith-Based Initiatives and Community Involvement.

On January 5, 2020, Booker formally entered the 2020 U.S. Senate race in Kentucky.

Booker's platform included universal health care, a Green New Deal to tackle climate change, systemic criminal justice reform and universal basic income.

During an interview with CNN on June 6, 2020, Booker stated, "we're building a grassroots campaign that has folks working from every part of a commonwealth," and "we've raised over a million dollars from regular folks because they know how important this moment is."

As a progressive Democrat, Booker supported the Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign.

Booker received endorsements from nearly half of the Democrats in the Kentucky House of Representatives, celebrities, unions and organizations.

He was endorsed by U.S. senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders; U.S. representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley; Tom Steyer; former U.S. secretary of housing and urban development, Julian Castro; Kentucky state senator Gerald Neal; former Kentucky secretary of state Alison Lundergan Grimes; actress Susan Sarandon; the Working Families Party; and the Sunrise Movement.

The editorial boards of the Lexington Herald-Leader and The Courier Journal, Kentucky's two largest newspapers, also endorsed Booker.

The campaign drew national attention in its closing weeks, as Booker swiftly closed a polling gap with McGrath, and because the winner would challenge the Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell.

His surge came after his participation in protests over the death of Breonna Taylor.

However, Booker ultimately lost to Amy McGrath, receiving 42.7% of the vote compared to McGrath's 45.4%.

Upon conceding, Booker released a statement, reading in part:

Don't ever let someone tell you what's impossible.

Don't ever give up on your dreams for a brighter future.

No matter where you are from, what color your skin is, how much money you have, who you love, what pronoun you use, whether you walk or use a wheelchair, or what you believe—you matter.

You deserve a government that accounts for your humanity.

From this moment on, let's take the frustration we feel and commit to fighting for change like never before.

Let's dedicate to the work of beating Mitch, so that we can get him out of the way.

Yes, I would love to be your nominee, but know I'm still by your side.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Kentucky, I love you.

From the hood to the holler.

On July 1, 2021, Booker announced he would run in the Democratic primary for Kentucky's other Senate seat.
