Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders will speak to UF students and Gainesville residents Thursday morning.

The presidential candidate and Vermont senator will come to the University Village South Field located next to the Southwest Recreation Center, said Isaac Netzer, the president of Progressive Gators.

Guests will be allowed in starting at 8 a.m., and Sanders will speak at 11 a.m. No tickets are required for the free event, and Sanders is not being paid to speak.

Between 4,000 and 8,000 people are expected to attend, Netzer, a UF political science sophomore, said. Those interested in attending can RSVP at map.berniesanders.com, but admission will be given on a first-come, first-served basis...
