Senator Sanders (I-VT) is running for President in the 2016 elections as a contender in the Democratic Primary.

He is as of July 2015 the runner-up with the second most money raised from small donors, an impressive feat because the senator doesn't use super-PAC's which have according to him corrupted elections to favor big money interests. This grassroots support, which is drawing thousands at early primary rallies across the country has made Sanders a serious unexpected contender.
