🐦 Oct 15 10:30am - Bernie Sanders will Stump For Jane Kim in San Francisco
This Saturday, October 15th, at 10am, Sanders will speak at a rally for District 6 Supervisor and State Senate candidate Jane Kim, to be held at Kim's Civic Center campaign headquarters (37 Grove St.) After both candidates speak at 10:30am, the group will "hit the streets to rally support for Jane Kim and other progressive local candidates."
Back in May, Sanders chose Kim as one of the first eight state-level candidates to be endorsed by his political organization, Our Revolution, leading to a spike in donations for Kim. She's facing off against District 8 Supervisor Scott Wiener for the State Senate seat, and won the June primary election against him.
“I’m honored and grateful to have Senator Sanders’ support and I’m so excited he will be joining me again in San Francisco," Kim said in a statement. "I’m running for State Senate to make sure our cities work for all of us and I’m grateful to have Senator Sanders by my side to help spread our message."
