Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is holding a town hall near Flagstaff on Thursday.

Before his arrival at the event at the Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort, two supporters of the U.S. Senator from Vermont discussed why they're supporting the self-proclaimed democratic socialist.

Sanders is campaigning heavily in Arizona ahead of the state's presidential primary on Tuesday. He has events scheduled in Tucson and Metro Phoenix – his second in the Valley this week – before voters head to the polls.
