Bernie Sanders stumps for Summer Lee at Pittsburgh rally
(snip)
Sanders stumped for Lee at the Westin hotel in Downtown Pittsburgh, and was joined by area union members and other progressive politicians like Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey.
“I look out at this crowd and I have no doubt that you’re looking at the next congressperson from Pittsburgh,” Sanders said. He added, “We need members of Congress that are willing to step up for working families and to take on the special interest that control this country.”
Sanders praised Lee and said she would join him in supporting raising the minimum wage, changing the tax system to make corporations pay more, backing Medicare for All, and making public universities and colleges tuition-free.

“I won’t go into Congress with 26 years of experience; no one will,” Lee said, referring to Doyle. “But I will fight.”
