Bernie's Wife, Jane O'Meara Sanders.

I haven't seen a whole lot of posts on her at DU, so I offer this one:

It seems that O'Meara was destined to work in a public service capacity — she developed a social awareness early in life by watching her father struggle with a chronic illness. “It was my first realization that money can buy health, and that this fact was deeply unjust,” she told Yahoo in an interview earlier this year. O'Meara earned her college degree in social work from Goddard College in Burlington, Vermont while simultaneously juggling home life as a mother of three, and shortly thereafter, she began working for the Burlington Police Department Juvenile Division and volunteering with the city's youth center.

It's through her work with the police department that she first met Bernie Sanders, her future husband of now 27 years. Their shared political ideologies have strengthened their relationship and helped each succeed in their respective fields. O'Meara served briefly as the provost and interim president of her alma mater in 1996 and 1997, then as president of Burlington College between 2004 and 2011, during which time she helped to develop new academic majors and a financial aid program to support students. She also received a doctorate from the Union Institute in sociology, with a concentration in leadership and policy studies.
