Bernie Sanders’ Son Levi Loses New Hampshire Congressional Primary

Levi Sanders, the son of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was handily defeated on Tuesday night in his bid for New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, a perennial swing district that was vacated by retiring Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH).

Sanders was viewed as a significant underdog in the race before Tuesday. He also ran without the explicit of endorsement of his father, who said in a statement this summer: “Levi has spent his life in public service to low-income and working families, and I am very proud of all that he has done. In our family, however, we do not believe in dynastic politics. Levi is running his own campaign in his own way.”

The younger Sanders had only raised about $40,000 for his congressional bid.

Farm bill reforms will get food stamps back to work for Americans

However, for some able-bodied adults, food stamps and other welfare programs have become a way of life. We have near-record numbers of people on food stamps at a time when we have near-record low unemployment, and that makes no sense. When you have millions of able-bodied adults on food stamps while employers are trying to fill more than six million open jobs across the country, something is wrong with our welfare policy. The 2018 Farm Bill aims to address this issue directly.

For these 3 alone, they must give the ultimate penalty. Be swift, Qteam.
