Thousands Greet Bernie Sanders In Vallejo: Images

VALLEJO - Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders capped his full day of Bay Area campaigning on Wednesday with a rally in Vallejo, appearing before thousands of North Bay residents.

Earlier in the day in San Jose, Sanders told another large crowd he was in favor of raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, building a health care system under Medicare that benefits all, closing the gender pay gap, guaranteeing paid family and medical leave and imposing taxes on people in Wall Street according to BCN.
