Bernie Sanders tops RI primary signature count; supporters plan further events

After successfully getting the most signatures of any presidential primary candidate, Bernie Sanders’ Rhode Island campaign will now focus on getting a  slate of delegates on the ballot for Bernie.

Sanders supporters gathered 3451 official signatures, Hillary Clinton supporters, backed by the RI Democratic Party, gathered only 1802. On the Republican side Trump supporters gathered 3110 signatures, followed by 2902 for Jeb Bush, who has already dropped out of the race.

There will be events throughout the state where people can go to sign nomination papers for those seeking to be delegates. Our Kickoff event will be from 7:00pm-9:00pm on Thursday, February 25th at the Wild Colonial in Providence on South Water Street.
