The inside scoop on Washington from the only Independent in Congress
Bernie Sanders was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006 after serving 16 years in the House of Representatives. He is the longest serving independent member of Congress in American history. Early in his career, Sanders was director of the American People's Historical Society. Elected Mayor of Burlington by 10 votes in 1981, he served four terms. Before his 1990 election as Vermont's at-large member in Congress, Sanders lectured at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and at Hamilton College in upstate New York.
A clear, compelling and comprehensive vision for reinvigorating
democracy, reducing poverty, rebuilding the middle class and
restructuring our health care and education systems. Sanders gives
us a vision of the day when 'we will no longer be outsiders in the
House.'
