Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker has released 10 years of tax returns, showing his income dipped significantly last year but he remained generous toward charity.
Booker reported income of $152,715 in 2018 for his salary as a U.S. senator from New Jersey. He paid $22,781 in taxes and had an effective tax rate of 19 percent.
Booker donated $24,000 to charity in 2018 — or more than 15 percent of his income. That contrasts with other Democratic presidential candidates, who have reported giving much smaller percentages to charity. Over the 10-year period, Booker reported total charitable contributions of nearly $460,000.
Booker reported a higher income in previous years from royalties off the sale of his book, "United," which was first published in 2016. Booker reported an income of $429,983 in 2017 and $466,168 in 2016.
