BERNIE SANDERS' 2020 CAMPAIGN RESPONDS TO ALLEGED FEC VIOLATION BY CALLING TRUMP A RACIST

03/22/2019

Excerpt:

The complaint filed by the Free Beacon argues that “Sen. Sanders and Bernie 2020 is permitting a foreign national, Ms. Sisa, to serve in an advisory position which allows her to directly or indirectly participate in the decision-making process of persons with regard to election-related activities in violation of FEC regulations.”

Sanders’ campaign manager Faiz Shakir told The Daily Caller that Sanders plans to continue to fight for permanent protections for DACA recipients while also accusing President Donald Trump of racism.

“Unlike the Trump administration, President Sanders will not only act to protect DACA recipients and their community, he will ensure this campaign seeks out their voices and treats them with respect,” Shakit said. “Now more than ever, we need leadership that brings us together and stands up to Trump’s racist and bigoted attempts to divide us up.”

Bernie Sanders 2.0 is California bound: What's different this time?

PUBLISHED: March 22, 2019 at 8:20 am

Excerpt:

In his first Golden State events since declaring his presidential campaign, Sanders will meet fans at Waterfront Park in San Diego on Friday evening, Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon and Great Meadow Park at Fort Mason in San Francisco on Sunday, starting at 12:30 p.m.

“You’re gonna see the enthusiasm that’s there for Bernie in the Bay Area,” predicted Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Fremont, who is Sanders’ national campaign co-chair and will be among the speakers at his San Francisco rally. “And I think you’ll see him share more of his personal story in a way that he hasn’t in the past.”

“He’s got a much better campaign this time,” said Khanna, who also supported Sanders during the 2016 race, when the senator had a smaller team and a more improvisational approach. “There’s a far greater diversity. It’s being run like a professional corporation… he’s got an extraordinarily well-oiled machine.”

BERNIE SANDERS EXPANDS HIS IOWA CAUCUS OPERATION

On March 21, 2019

Excerpts:

Senator Bernie Sanders continues to build out his Iowa Caucus team, one that will likely end up as one of the largest of the 2020 field. The campaign tells Starting Line that they have hired Michael Fasullo to serve as their Iowa field director and Tony Anthony as the deputy caucus director.

The two new hires continue a trend for Sanders of building a team with deep experience in organizing progressive communities for left-leaning campaigns. His Iowa operation pulls heavily from three major sources: his 2016 team, the Glasson campaign, and the progressive Iowa issue organization Citizens for Community Improvement.

Fasullo and Anthony will have their hands full with reactivating the extensive Sanders volunteer base. By far the biggest advantage that Sanders begins his Iowa run this time around is the massive volunteer infrastructure that remains from the 2016 cycle.

Sanders already has a base eager to get back to work, as evidenced by Sanders’ big small dollar success right out of the gate and the dozens of local volunteers already manning his initial Iowa trips.

While at his rally in Des Moines two weeks ago, Sanders mentioned they already had over 6,000 volunteers in Iowa signed up. They likely recruited even more at the event, where a sophisticated digital sign-in operation with tablets took in more attendees’ information.

With a sustainable online revenue stream, the Sanders campaign should be able to construct the largest Iowa Caucus field team if they so choose. They shouldn’t have any difficulty filling their field offices with volunteers as soon as they get them set up.
