Bernie Sanders begins 2020 campaign in Council Bluffs
(snip)
UNO pre-law student Cesar Magaña Linares was one of the volunteers spending an evening assisting the campaign in Council Bluffs.
Ive been a stronger supporter of Bernie Sanders message since 2014, even before he announced his candidacy for 2016, Magaña Linares said. I see that Bernie Sanders has consistently had the right policy message that I could align myself with, so Im out here volunteering.

For example, $15 minimum wage, Green New Deal, Medicare for all, protecting social securitythese are all policy ideas that I feel like our country is afraid to take on because of the labels theyre ascribed. In all honestly, the people agree with him on a massive scale, Magaña Linares said.

A lot of his beliefs align with mine, especially like immigration and education. I think those are the biggest two for me personally. Like I feel that often the minority voices get drowned out and I feel like hes able to speak for us, Guzman said.
