Cory Booker, the Newark, N.J. mayor and Democratic New Jersey Senate candidate, is stepping down from the board of the small video aggregation website Waywire, his Senate campaign told Politico on Friday.According to Politico, Booker will be donating his shares in the company — which he recently valued at between $1 million and $5 million — to charity.
