He is serving his second term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2012 with 71 percent of the vote. Sanders previously served as mayor of Vermont\u2019s largest city for eight years before defeating an incumbent Republican to be the sole congressperson for the state in the U.S. House of Representatives. He lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife Jane and has four children and seven grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>Bernard \u201cBernie\u201d Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York, to immigrant parents and grew up in a small, rent-controlled apartment. His father came to the United States from Poland at the age of 17 without much money or a formal education. While attending the University of Chicago, a 20-year-old Sanders led students in a multi-week sit-in to oppose segregation in off-campus housing owned by the university as a Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) officer. In August of 1963, Sanders took an overnight bus as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to hear Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s historic \u201cI Have a Dream\u201d speech firsthand at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.<\/p>\n<p>After graduation, Bernie moved to Vermont where he worked as a carpenter and documentary filmmaker. In 1981, he was elected as mayor of Burlington as an Independent by a mere 10 votes, shocking the city\u2019s political establishment by defeating a six-term, local machine mayor. In 1983, Bernie was re-elected by a 21 point margin with a record amount of voter turnout. Under his administration, the city made major strides in affordable housing, progressive taxation, environmental protection, child care, women\u2019s rights, youth programs and the arts. In 1990, Sanders was elected to the House of Representatives as the first Independent in 40 years and joined the Democratic caucus. He was re-elected for eight terms, during which he voted against the deregulation of Wall Street, the Patriot Act, and the invasion of Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, Sanders defeated the richest man in Vermont to win a seat in the U.S. Senate as an Independent. Known as a \u201cpractical and successful legislator,\u201d Sanders served as chairman of the Committee on Veterans\u2019 Affairs where he authored and passed the most significant veteran health care reform bill in recent history. While in the Senate, Sanders has fought tirelessly for working class Americans against the influence of big money in politics. In 2010, he gave an eight-and-a-half hour filibuster-like speech on the Senate floor in opposition to extending Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthy. In 2015, the Democratic leadership tapped Bernie to serve as the caucus\u2019 ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Known for his consistency on the issues, Senator Sanders has supported the working class, women, communities of color, and the LGBT community throughout his career. He is an advocate for the environment, unions, and immigrants. He voted against Keystone XL, opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, wants to expand the Voting Rights Act, and pass the Equal Rights Amendment.<br \/>\nTo learn more about Bernie on the issues, click here: https:\/\/berniesanders.com\/issues\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Related Articles: Bernie Sanders, and Simon and Garfunkel, Put Focus on Voters, By NICK CORASANITI, The New York Times Link: [https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2nwRiuh1Cug] Description: Published on Jan 21, 2016 &#8220;They\u2019ve all come to look for America&#8230;&#8221; &#8212;&#8212;&#8212; \u2605 Join the political revolution at www.berniesanders.com \u2605 Connect with Bernie: Facebook \u2192 https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/berniesanders\/ Twitter \u2192 https:\/\/twitter.com\/berniesanders Instagram \u2192 https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/berniesanders\/ [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[106,229,29,84,230],"tags":[231,107,129,233,125,234,232,166],"class_list":["post-387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bernie-sanders-2016","category-media","category-news","category-politics","category-video","tag-bernie-2016","tag-bernie-sanders","tag-campaign-2016","tag-media","tag-presidential-race-2016","tag-promo","tag-theyve-all-come-to-look-for-america","tag-video","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/publicskeleton.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/publicskeleton.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/publicskeleton.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/publicskeleton.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/publicskeleton.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=387"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/publicskeleton.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":388,"href":"https:\/\/publicskeleton.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387\/revisions\/388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/publicskeleton.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/publicskeleton.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/publicskeleton.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
