Weaver, raised in the St. Albans area, first met Bernie as a 20-year-old volunteer in Sanders’ 1986 campaign for governor. He later worked on Sanders’ campaigns for the U.S. House and on his 2006 campaign for the U.S. Senate. Weaver was a legislative assistant in Sanders’ congressional office and worked his way up to chief of staff in the Senate office. He is a graduate of Georgetown Law School, which he attended while working for Sanders

My older brother went to school with him and our families have always been friends.

Go Jeff!

Go Bernie!
