Following news that Senator Bernie Sanders would be returning to the Bay Area this week for a political rally in Vallejo on Wednesday evening, the presidential candidate has announced an additional, earlier event in the South Bay.

Per an official campaign email, Sanders will appear at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds (344 Tully Road in San Jose) to deliver his political pillars, "including getting big money out of politics, his plan to make public colleges and universities tuition-free, combating climate change and ensuring universal health care."

Doors to the event will open at 10 a.m. Organizers advise that those who plan on attending should RSVP ahead of time, and arrive at Gate F, between Senter Street and Monterey Road. Paid parking will be available.

Sanders had previously confirmed a campaign stop at the Vallejo waterfront to be held later that day.
