Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is back in the Granite State this week. He spent part of Monday afternoon in Nashua, where he courted students.

Sanders stood behind the podium in a large classroom at Nashua Community College on Monday afternoon. He tailored his remarks for the setting and his audience – about 100 community college students.

Sanders talked about increasing funds for public education, from early childhood learning to college.

"Our job is to tap all of your intellectual capability. We need you. And that is why I’m fighting to make certain that public colleges and universities, including community colleges, are tuition free. Now how are we going to pay for it? We’re going to pay for it through a tax on Wall Street speculation."
