Bernie Sanders supporters rally in Balboa Park

Hundreds took to the streets at Balboa Park on Saturday afternoon to learn more about one Democratic presidential hopeful. Many in attendance said they were unfamiliar with candidate Bernie Sanders, so they met up for a rally and a march to discuss his campaign issues.

"It’s helping to get the word out because there are not a lot of people who know who Bernie is, I didn't know who he was until August myself,” said supporter Ellen Harris.

Members of Progressive Democrats of San Diego put on the event hoping to strum up support for Sanders.

"I think people are really fed up that our elected officials are so easily bought to do the bidding of these rich corporate elites, and I think that's what really brings people out today," said Jose Caballero, Progressive Democrats Of San Diego.
