Returning to Wisconsin for the first time since he won the state's presidential primary in April, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders campaigned on Wednesday in Madison for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and former Sen. Russ Feingold.

Sanders spent a half-hour encouraging a crowd of about 1,200 to vote for Clinton and Feingold, after introductions from Feingold and environmental advocate Tia Nelson.

He tied his argument to a long list of progressive causes including voting rights, raising the minimum wage, pay equity, health care access, college affordability, immigration reform and maintaining Social Security.

Sanders also made an impassioned case for Wisconsinites to maintain the state's "fantastic progressive heritage" by electing Feingold to the Senate seat he held for 18 years, until Republican Sen. Ron Johnson unseated him in 2010.

I do hope Hillary and Pres. Obama can make it to WI soon.

..........................Hillary Clinton has not been in Wisconsin since the primary election. Clinton and President Obama canceled a stop in Green Bay after the Pulse Nightclub Shooting in Orlando.

Chelsea Clinton has been active in the state pushing early voting.

Wisconsin helped elect President Barack Obama in the previous two elections, but polls show the state could swing red or blue this November. A Sept. 21 Marquette University Law School Poll gives Clinton a slight edge over Trump, 45-42 percent among likely voters.

Action 2 News will have coverage of both events tonight.

3. Bernie is doing up to four events a day for Hillary. GO BERNIE!

I don't think his dedication is up for question anymore.
