ROLLINSFORD — Former presidential primary hopeful and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, will be in town Sunday for the Strafford County Democratic Committee fall fundraiser.

According to the latest Granite State Poll by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center and released Wednesday, while nearly all likely Democratic primary voters are still trying to make up their minds in the 2020 New Hampshire presidential primary, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren are early front-runners. Interest in the 2020 primary is greater than at this point in the last two electoral cycles.

Sanders headlined the Strafford County Democratic Committee fall fundraiser in 2014 as well when his message was about the importance of voter turnout and more than 200 packed the American Legion Hall to hear from the independent senator as he traveled around the country.

According to a statement, the annual fall fundraiser is to support efforts to elect Democratic candidates in Strafford County.

“If you've been paying attention you know that it is of utmost importance to participate and support our actions at this time,” the statement reads. “Please join us for food and solidarity and to hear from the man with a unique voice, who attracted record breaking crowds across the country and started a movement.”

The event takes place from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the Martel-Roberge American Legion Hall, 551 Foundry St. in Rollinsford. There will be hors d'oeuvres, dessert, a cash bar and live music. Tickets are $25 per person and $10 for students.

“The money raised after expenses from our event will help pay for our mailings to all Strafford County Democrats and undeclared voters. We will also be spending on canvassing, voter registration efforts, handouts, and local candidate support via the city and town committees,” the statement reads.

Sanders was in the state last month to give the keynote address at the annual New Hampshire AFL-CIO Labor Day Breakfast in Manchester.
