I am fired up that @BernieSanders will be seeking re-election! It was Bernie's advocacy on economic justice, social justice, and climate justice that inspired me to step up and serve. So honored to share the ballot - and the campaign trail - with him again this year.
Let me thank the people of Vermont, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me the opportunity to serve them in the United States Senate. It has been the honor of my life. Today, I am announcing my intention to seek another term. Here is why:

A recent letter to the editor mischaracterized Rights & Democracy as giving up on democracy. We believe the current government can serve, protect and include all citizens and are working hard to create a democracy that works for everyone.

Policies like S.5 that support working families, move away from harmful systems, and protect future generations advance our vision.

More than 1,600 people have signed the petition demanding @UnitedHealthGrp cover Jenn's lifesaving care. It's beautiful to see our power in numbers. Sign if you haven't + keep spreading the word! 📝 ❤️🩹
Jenn spent two decades providing emergency medical care to people who need it, only to have @UnitedHealthGrp stop her from getting health care when she needs it. https://t.co/0DSDGeWozK Tell them to cover Jenn's care!
