Bernie Sanders 2016 Campaign Announces Maine Working Class Cabinet
Today at the State House, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign announced the creation of the Maine “Working Class Cabinet.” Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap will chair the committee.
From his prepared remarks:
-
“Bernie Sanders is the strongest advocate for working families
this country has seen since President Roosevelt nearly 70 years ago. He
plans to build a strong economy for all of us, not just the
billionaires. He is also our best hope for tackling climate change,
getting big money out of politics, fighting for women’s rights, caring
for our veterans, and making college tuition free and debt free. This
cabinet is a reflection of the people-powered campaign Bernie Sanders
is running. We look forward to working together to get him elected.”
House Majority Leader Jeff McCabe:
-
“If you’re not outraged by the disappearance of the
middle
class here in the state of Maine, then it’s time to skip the cocktail
parties. It’s time to head down to the main street to the coffee shop.
It’s time to talk to your neighbors.”
