The event was billed as a "community conversation" with Sanders' wife, Jane. But after a brief introduction, Jane Sanders introduced her husband to the crowd at the Archives Coffee House on the UND campus.

The size of the gathering swelled after news of Sanders' arrival spread.

"I threw on clothes and a hat and jumped in my car, was literally sprinting across campus, and I got here just in time," said UND grad student Erin Kunz.

Sanders, a senator from Vermont, hit on familiar issues of income inequality, health care, college affordability and campaign finance. He will speak in Fargo this afternoon.

1. Bernie Sanders' wife to speak in Grand Forks today

In a last-minute addition to his North Dakota visit, Bernie Sanders' wife will speak to supporters today in Grand Forks.

Jane Sanders will speak at Archives Coffee House in Grand Forks, the Sanders campaign announced Thursday night. Doors for the event open at 10:30 a.m. Friday at 3012 University Ave.


The late addition comes after Bernie Sanders, a Democratic senator from Vermont who is running for president, announced he would make a stop Friday at the Ramada Plaza & Suites in Fargo and the Bismarck Depot. Like those events, the Grand Forks stop for Jane Sanders is free and open to the public, though reservations are encouraged and admission is first come, first serve.

Jane Sanders is expected to speak 11 a.m. to noon.
