Without Fanfare, Bernie Sanders Announces He's Running For Re-Election
By BOB KINZEL • 22 MINUTES AGO
Excerpt:
Included in a fundraising letter sent to supporters Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders announced he's running for re-election.
It was an unusual way to let the people of Vermont know that he has decided to seek another term in office.
On Tuesday, Sanders sent an email to supporters asking them to help pay for a seven-state trip he's taking next week, during which he plans on challenging many of the policies of the Trump Administration.
The letter wraps up with a request:
"Please make a $27 contribution to my re-election campaign to help fund this national tour."
VPR wanted to ask Sanders about his decision to seek another term in office, his role as a spokesperson for the Democratic Party, and his plan to use campaign funds for his national tour but numerous attempts to talk to Sanders or members of his Senate staff went unanswered.
