NY State of Politics: Working Families Party Plans Mobilization for Sanders

[Jefferson23]

NY State of Politics reports on our yuge plans to turn out voters for Bernie across New York state leading up to primary on April 19th:

The Working Families Party plans a “full-throated mobilization” on behalf of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders ahead of the April 19 primary.

The labor-backed organization, which endorsed Sanders over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has been working for the last year to building a grassroots organizing campaign for the Vermont senator, said WFP State Director Bill Lipton.

“There is a full-throated mobilization on behalf of Sanders,” Lipton said. “People across the state are feeling the Bern and the Working Families Party is adding gasoline to the fire.”

The Sanders campaign this week signaled it would seek to compete in New York’s April 19 primary, a contest that is typically held late in the primary season and often is an after though in nominating contests.

But with the major party nominations still up in the air, the Sanders campaign believes New York could be a competitive environment, despite being the adopted home state of Clinton.
