Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will hold a rally in Lawrence on Thursday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

The announcement by the Sanders campaign was welcome news for some local Democrats, who said they are often not paid as much attention from Democratic candidates during national campaigns because of Kansas’ overwhelmingly Republican population.

“One of the largest concerns for me as a Democrat is that the national Democratic Party ignores Kansas, party because we don’t have the electoral votes that they want,” said Mike Wendel-Hummell, chairman of the Douglas County Coalition for Bernie Sanders. “And Bernie Sanders has made a point from the beginning that this is a 50-state effort by him.”

The rally will begin at 7 p.m. at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 1930 Harper St. The event is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 4 p.m., and admission is first come, first served. Chairs and signs or banners on sticks will not be allowed, and the campaign asks attendees to not bring bags.

Sanders — a senator from Vermont whose campaign has been geared toward the middle class, and focused on issues such as wealth inequality and getting money out of politics — will host his rally at what some might call a fitting venue. The rally will take place in the fairgrounds' indoor arena, a large community building with a dirt floor that is often used for events involving livestock.



My daughter called me this afternoon and asked if we could go. I had already planned on asking her if she would like to go. She is a senior in highschool and an honors student and never skips school. We attended a Obama speech and she got to shake hands with him in 2006, when she was 9. I am so happy that she will be able to witness another historic event.

3. "The event is free and open to the public"

That's what sets Bernie apart from HRH.

4. I am hoping to make it

but it is not a sure thing until time to leave to drive there. I saw him in KC so I kinda feel like letting others have the chance, it is so crowded when he is around. Besides I am still bernin' from last week.

Have a wonderful time. Your daughter will never forget it.
