Senator and presidential candidate for the US Democratic Party, Bernie Sanders, will visit Puerto Rico on Monday, May 15, 2016, as reported today in writing.
Campaign official Betsy Franceschini, regional director for the Hispanic vote in the eastern United States and Puerto Rico said Sanders "will be with us on Monday."
"With great joy we confirm that Bernie will be with us on Monday. In the morning he will hold a press conference and in the afternoon will participate in a talk at the Theater of the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras for the general community. Theater doors open at 5:00 pm" said Franceschini via written communication.
"The senator is very attentive to the fiscal reality of Puerto Rico and has proposed to work with this and other problems of the island. So we want the community to participate in this discussion," adds Franceschini, who led the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration (PRFAA) in the state of Florida and served as district director in the office of Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson (Florida).
The Democratic primary will be on Sunday, June 5, the day of the primaries of the Popular Democratic Party (PDP) and New Progressive Party (NPP).
"Voting for Bernie, # 3 on the ballot, is quite easy because we will have voting rooms wherever there are primaries that Sunday. The voter presents their electoral card, they are given the ballot, they vote for Bernie and deposit the ballot in the ballot box. Unlike PDP and NPP primaries, we will not have electronic counting", explained the Democratic leader.
Franceschini said that the Democratic Party in Puerto Rico "select 66 delegates to the Democratic National Convention, more than 22 states of the American union. And that is because of Puerto Rico's population. "
On the other hand, a Bernie 2016 Committee was created on Munoz Rivera Avenue in Rio Piedras, near El Hipopotamo, office #105 building #894.
