Bernie Sanders Coming To Baltimore

BALTIMORE, MD — Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders will be rallying in Maryland the first week in December. He plans to attend a "Medicare-for-All" event at Notre Dame on Dec. 6.

The event is billed as rally about universal health care and an opportunity to support gubernatorial hopeful Ben Jealous, a contender for the Democratic nomination in the 2018 election against Gov. Larry Hogan.

Jealous announced in June that if elected governor, he would try to institute a single-payer health care system, according to The Washington Post.

Jealous, who is a former NAACP president, also co-chaired the Sanders campaign.

When Sanders visited Baltimore in April 2016 as he tried to win the Democratic bid for President, Jealous rallied for the Vermont Senator during a campaign event in Druid Hill Park.

The "Medicare for All Rally" will be from 7:30 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 6, at Le Clerc Hall Auditorium, Notre Dame of Maryland University, 4701 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21210. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
