## Bio

Born into a working-class Jewish family in New York City on September 8, 1941, Sanders organized civil rights protests for CORE and SNCC as a University of Chicago student before settling in Vermont in 1968. He spent the 1970s losing third-party races, then won Burlington's mayorship as an independent in 1981 and held it through three reelections. Elected to the House in 1990, he co-founded the Congressional Progressive Caucus a year later and served sixteen years before moving to the Senate in 2006 - the first non-Republican in that seat since 1850. His 2016 presidential run generated startling grassroots energy, won 23 contests, and shifted the Democratic Party's center of gravity on healthcare and education; in 2020 he led the field early before becoming a Biden ally. Since Trump's 2024 return he's organized a tour against what he calls a right-wing oligarchy, targeting Elon Musk and rallying an effort to reshape his adopted party from the inside.
