Upon the Democratic or Independents majority takeover of the U.S. Senate in 2020, we want to immediately replace Mitch McConnell. Select Senator Bernie Sanders for the position of Senate Majority Leader, or as an alternate select Senator Elizabeth Warren or Tulsi Gabbard.

Why is this important?
Bernie Sanders is serving his third term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2018. His previous 16 years in the House of Representatives make him the longest serving independent member of Congress in American history. Today, Sanders remains on the veterans committee and was tapped by Senate leadership to be the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee. He also serves on the Environment and Public Works Committee, where he has focused on global warming and rebuilding our nation’s crumbling infrastructure. He is a member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, where he has championed efforts to transform our energy system from fossil fuels to renewable power sources like solar and wind. He also sits on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, where he has fought for greater access to affordable health care, the Green New Deal, and improved education programs from pre-K to college. 

Who is Bernie Sanders?
