Bernie Sanders’ wife Jane wins cheers at Farmingdale, Long Island sports bar
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ wife, Jane, made a campaign stop on behalf of her husband’s presidential bid Tuesday night at a Farmingdale sports bar, where hundreds of supporters cheered her promise that a vote for Sanders was a vote for democratic reform.
Jane Sanders, responding to the crowd of “Bernie!”-chanting supporters at the Main Event sports bar in Farmingdale, said voters in the April 19 primary “have a very clear choice: status quo establishment, or political revolution — let’s take our democracy back.”

Meryl Lipton, a dental hygienist from Sea Cliff, said she was moved to canvass in Dix Hills Tuesday for the campaign because she admired Sanders’ pledge to avoid donations from corporations. “The amount of money influencing media and politics is poisoning the way that the 99 percent — us — our voices are getting lost,” Lipton said.
Zohreh Aminian, an academic review director from Woodbury, came with her family to meet Jane Sanders. Aminian said she liked Bernie Sanders’ plan to make college more accessible, his economic politics and that “in general, he’s a very decent man.”
