Benjamin David tweeted daughter Noa’s handwritten letter to the New Jersey lawmaker.

“Dear Senator Booker, I am glad you are running for presdint,” it reads. “I would be happy to help you. We met last year in your office. I am 11 and I wear hearing aids. I like the idea of a presdint who would be kind and caring. Please let me know how I can help you win!”

Within just a few hours, Booker had tweeted the girl and her father back to happily accept.

She may not be old enough to vote, but it sounds like Noa has scored her first job in politics. And Booker isn’t the only one who is inspired by her drive.

People on Twitter were also tickled by Booker’s response and heaped praise on him too.

Too early to recruit her as a running mate?
