I didn't know much about Bernie's wife

Jane Sanders met Bernie Sanders in 1981 on the night of his mayoral win in Burlington, Vt., and they married in 1988. They both grew up in Brooklyn. She is the former president of Burlington College; she has a Ph.D. with a concentration in leadership and policy studies from Union Institute & University and previously worked in community development. They have four children: Levi, Heather, Carina and David.

She sounds like she and Bernie would make a good First Team. Leadership, policy studies and community development? Yowza!
