Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders is a prominent U. S. Senator from Vermont and a passionate advocate for progressive change.

First elected to the Senate in 2006 after a distinguished 16-year tenure in the House of Representatives, Bernie has consistently prioritized the needs of working families, tackling issues such as income inequality, affordable housing, and environmental protection. Known for his hands-on leadership and substantial legislative accomplishments, he earned the nickname “amendment king” for his ability to pass more amendments than any other Congressional member. Bernie’s tenure as mayor of Burlington set the stage for his commitment to livable cities through progressive policies.

Dedicated to bridging partisan divides, he has successfully collaborated across the aisle as the chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. With a vision of empowering everyday Americans, Bernie invites supporters to join the political revolution through his official website, where they can donate, shop, and learn more about the issues that matter.
