U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders visited the New Brunswick school to campaign for Gov. Phil Murphy’s re-election bid just days away. He energized the crowd with his trademark call to revamp government to better help the young and working-class — a message that has long drawn him a devoted following among college-age voters.

“I am here because your governor is one of the most progressive, if not the most progressive, governors in America,” the Vermont independent said of Murphy. “And because he stands for working people, working people stand for him.”

The evening encapsulated Murphy’s high-profile get-out-the-voter effort in the waning days of his race against Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli. Sanders is the latest in a parade of big-name politicians to appear alongside Murphy in New Jersey, home to one of only two governor’s races in the nation this year (along with Virginia).

Sanders arrived just days after visits by President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama. Former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, First Lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff also joined Murphy at events in recent weeks.
