Bernie Sanders puts 20 staffers in state, opens Seattle office [View all]

The 2016 presidential campaign is on its way to Washington state.

Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders added a campaign office in Seattle on Sunday and has 20 paid staffers in the state preparing for the March 26 caucuses. Those workers have begun canvassing and phone-banking.

Judging by the volume of campaign donations that residents have committed to Sanders, he already has a strong base in this state.

“We have a ton of supporters here who have been active and volunteering for us even before we got on the ground,” said Joan Kato, who helped lay the groundwork for the state operation and is now going to work at the campaign’s national headquarters. The campaign expects more office openings in the coming days.
