INDIANAPOLIS -- Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is embarking on a nine-state tour on behalf of Democratic candidates competing in the November elections, that includes a stop in Indiana.

Sanders will kick off his tour in Bloomington next week to campaign for Liz Watson who is running against Republican Congressman Trey Hollingsworth in the 9th Congressional District.
