MI-GOV: Bernie Sanders to campaign for Whitmer in Michigan governor's race

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the independent Vermont senator who ran for president in 2016, will travel to Ann Arbor next week in an effort to fire up progressive voters for Gretchen Whitmer's gubernatorial campaign.

Sanders backed Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in the race for governor before the Aug. 7 primary and appeared at a rally for El-Sayed's campaign the weekend before that election. But the former Detroit health department director finished second of three candidates in the race, behind Whitmer and in front of retired Ann Arbor businessman Shri Thanedar.
