26. I am a woman...

...and I am thrilled to see Bernie Sanders being recognized for his policies that truly do something to help women.

He's consistently been for equal pay and for doing something about income inequality. He's held these beliefs and fought for years, not just during election season when he's trying to convince voters to vote for him.

Women could not have a better candidate in their corner than Bernie Sanders. Elizabeth Warren too! Both Warren and Bernie have publicly fought for the middle class and for the economic issues that impact middle-class women and their families.
