Sen. Bernie Sanders to Speak at 2015 PA Progressive Summit

Written by Matt Cassidy, Contributing Writer

The 2015 Pennsylvania Progressive Summit in Harrisburg has just added a new keynote speaker to the lineup.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders will be speaking at the conference which takes place on February 6th and 7th at the Harrisburg Hilton Hotel.

The appearance is part of an effort by Sen. Sanders to stoke the fire of a possible presidential run in 2016.

He is currently serving his second term in the US Senate after capturing 71 percent of the vote in his 2012 reelection. While an Independent, the Senator does caucus with the Democrats. Previously, Sanders held a seat in the US House of Representatives for 16 years, making him the longest serving independent in US Congressional history.
