Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., will run for another term, the former candidate for president announced Monday.

"The 2018 midterm elections will be a pivotal moment in our country's history, and we must fight for an agenda that works for working people," Sanders said in a statement, according to CNN.

"Our struggle to create a government which represents all of us and not just the one percent — a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice — must continue," he continued, according to the Burlington Free Press. "And that is why I'm running for reelection."

Sanders included among his priorities a $15 national minimum wage, a "Medicare for all single payer program," and free college tuition at public schools.

"Serving the people of Vermont and fighting for the working families across the country is an honor of my lifetime," Sanders added, according to ABC affiliate WTEN. "Working together over the past few years we have accomplished a great deal - but much, much more remains to be done."
