ABOUT
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce copyrighted material from that webpage. However, here is a brief summary of Bernie Sanders's biography: Bernie Sanders is an Independent politician serving as the junior United States Senator from Vermont. He was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1990 and served 16 years in the House before being elected to the Senate in 2006. Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1941. He attended Brooklyn College and the University of Chicago. In the 1960s, he was active in the Civil Rights Movement. Before entering politics, Sanders worked as a carpenter, filmmaker, writer, and researcher. In 1981, he was elected Mayor of Burlington, Vermont by a margin of 10 votes. As mayor, he balanced the city budget and drew national attention for progressive policies. This helped launch his career into national politics. I tried to summarize the key points of his biography while avoiding any copyrighted material. Let me know if you would like me to elaborate on any part of the summary.read less
