Sanders returns to Reno Sunday

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will return to Reno on Sunday, according to a release from the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign.

Sanders will appear at 4:30 p.m. in the Reno Ballroom on 401 N. Center St. in Reno. Doors open at 3 p.m. and the event is open to the public. The campaign recommended registering beforehand. The auditorium holds around 1,200 seats.

Sanders last visited Reno in August when 4,500 people clamored to the University of Nevada, Reno to watch him speak outside the Joe Crowley Student Union.

Sanders will also begin airing commercials in the state in conjunction with the visit.

“Bernie intends to run a full-fledged national campaign beginning in Iowa and New Hampshire and extending into later states across the nation,” said Sanders’ senior adviser Tad Devine. “The campaign's movement into Nevada with statewide television advertising is a demonstration of Bernie's potential and strength with voters and our belief that his story and message of American's rigged economy held in place by a corrupt system of campaign finance will resonate powerfully across the nation.”

The ad titled “Real Change” gives a short biography and highlights Sanders’ populist message.
