Bernie Sanders' stepdaughter runs for his old mayor's job [View all]

By Associated Press December 4 at 10:35 AM

MONTPELIER, Vt. — Bernie Sanders’ stepdaughter is running for mayor of Burlington, Vermont, the same office that was the starting point for the independent U.S. senator’s political career.

Carina Driscoll announced her candidacy on Monday. She is a former city council member and ex-state legislator, and she says she will run as an independent.

Democratic Mayor Miro Weinberger is expected to seek re-election in March.

Driscoll says she will work to bring Burlington “to again be that vibrant, forward-thinking city where we are all so proud to live.”
