Team, it makes me very happy to announce that Bernie will be on our ballot!

As most of you know, this was not done instantaneously. This was achieved with the hard work and effort of many people from all over the state. Whereas Hillary's campaign decided to pay folks to collect signatures, all of our volunteers did it for free. Not only that, but we continued to work through a blizzard; the second largest in NYC history at that.

With all of that we collected a tremendous 85,000 signatures! More than the Clinton campaign!

I just left NYC city hall where we held the official press conference and the team is bringing the petitions to the BOE as I type this. Even in the rain it was a great turnout and a great event. The conference not only featured the aforementioned signature total, but also new endorsements from state politicians and union leaders.

I will collect pictures and will search for the NBC News video when it is released later to share with you all.

Everyone here should be very proud of the work done so far. New York is DEFINITELY Feeling the Bern!
