UNO pre-law student Cesar Magaña Linares was one of the volunteers spending an evening assisting the campaign in Council Bluffs.

“I’ve been a stronger supporter of Bernie Sanders’ message since 2014, even before he announced his candidacy for 2016,” Magaña Linares said. “I see that Bernie Sanders has consistently had the right policy message that I could align myself with, so I’m out here volunteering.”

“For example, $15 minimum wage, Green New Deal, Medicare for all, protecting social security—these are all policy ideas that I feel like our country is afraid to take on because of the labels they’re ascribed. In all honestly, the people agree with him on a massive scale,” Magaña Linares said.

“A lot of his beliefs align with mine, especially like immigration and education. I think those are the biggest two for me personally. Like I feel that often the minority voices get drowned out and I feel like he’s able to speak for us,” Guzman said.

1. I support spending money for education at the pre-K, kindergarten, lower grades, and pre-college

vocational skills. There is a much wider impact for those who are acquiring basic skills and who may not have the academic skills to get into college. While I realize that many of these college students may graduate with debt, supposedly they will earn higher incomes so that they can pay those debts. Employers will be reluctant to pay a $15 minimum wage to anyone that doesn't possess basic reading, writing, and mathematical skills so I rather see educational reform for the largest segment of the population rather than those who select to go to college.
