In breakfast talk with delegates Sanders says Local Campaigns are his movement's future
He made the remarks in a breakfast meeting of Wisconsin and other delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
Sanders' White House bid likely will formally dead-end later Tuesday at the convention, at which Hillary Clinton is expected to become the Democratic nominee for president.
In a speech to kick off the convention Monday night, Sanders urged his supporters to back Clinton -- a suggestion some welcomed and others booed.
At a Tuesday morning breakfast for convention delegates from Wisconsin, Montana and Alaska, all of which went for Sanders in their primaries, the independent from Vermont was greeted by chants of "Bernie, Bernie!"
Many of those delegates were wondering what's next for Sanders and the loyal liberal movement he built during the last year.
Sanders hinted at it without providing details.
"Our campaign is going to transition to another organization that is going to support candidates running for school board, for city council, the state Legislature," Sanders said. "Our job is to bring people into the political process around a progressive agenda."
Sanders' campaign didn't immediately respond to a Wisconsin State Journal request to explain what's next. Sanders often has spoken throughout his campaign about the need to elect progressives at all levels of government, not just the White House.

There -is- a path ahead of us... and it seems that Sanders sees that as being inside the party.
