Booker | B001288 | www.booker.senate.gov | booker | https://www.booker.senate.gov/news/press | scraper | Paterson, NJ – U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) joined Paterson Mayor André Sayegh, Councilman Alaa Abdelaziz, and elected officials on Monday to visit Muslim-owned small businesses in Paterson, including a community pharmacy that offered testing and vaccines to the public during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The visit comes just weeks after Booker introduced a resolution celebrating the achievements of Muslims living in the United States and designating July as Muslim-American Heritage Month. “Last month, I was proud to introduce a resolution that recognized the diverse contributions that Muslim Americans have made to American life,” said Sen. Booker. “The Muslim-owned small businesses in the heart of Paterson offer powerful examples of these contributions. The owners, employees, and community leaders I met strengthen our local economy, perform essential work in the community, and add to the richness and vibrancy of our state.” “Thank you to Senator Cory Booker for visiting our small businesses here in Paterson,” said Mayor AndréSayegh. “As a former big city Mayor, Senator Booker understands and appreciates the importance of growing our small business community.” “It was great having Senator Booker in the 6th Ward visiting with Muslim small business owners,” said Councilman Alaa Abdelaziz. “Community-owned small businesses are the backbone of our city’s economy and provide essential services and local jobs.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
