Sanders’ Michigan Director to Lead PA Effort

Written by Nick Field, Managing Editor

The Bern is coming to the Keystone State.

The Bernie Sanders campaign has set up offices in Scranton and Pittsburgh this week ahead of the commonwealth’s April 26th primary.

Pennsylvania’s 210 delegates are the third-most of any remaining state (behind California and New York) making it a prime target for both candidates. Clinton won her 2008 contest against Barack Obama and is considered the favorite this year as well.

In order to change that, the Sanders camp is bringing on Ryan Hughes, who led the effort in Michigan and oversaw the biggest upset in recent political history.

Hughes will have his work cut out for him, though, as Hillary has secured the support of 18 of the state’s 21 superdelegates and is also opening an office in Pittsburgh today.
