Bernie Sanders: Big in Bushwick
Is Hillary ‘Feeling the Bern’ in Brooklyn?
On Wednesday, the Bernie Sanders campaign filed more than 80,000 petition signatures –more than ten times the minimum required — to put Bernie on the ballot in the New York State Democratic Presidential Primary on April 19.
Signatures were collected by volunteers in each of New York’s 27 Congressional Districts, including the Bushwick Berners, one of many Sanders support groups in the borough.
The Bushwick Berners are based in Councilmember Rafael Espinal’s north Brooklyn district.
