Bernie Sanders Announces Re-Election Bid for US Senate

Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders says he's running for re-election this fall.

Sanders' campaign sent out the announcement Monday.

He plans to launch his campaign next month with a series of rallies across Vermont.

In a statement issued by his campaign, Sanders, who is believed to be considering another bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, says it has been an honor to serve the people of Vermont, but more remains to be done.

He says the 2018 mid-term election will be a pivotal moment in U.S. history and people must fight for an agenda that works for working people.

Sanders was first elected to the U.S. House in 1990. He was elected to the Senate in 2006.
