Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders will campaign in Minnesota later this week.

Sanders, a senator from Vermont, will be in Rochester on Thursday morning. He's scheduled to hold a fundraiser and a town hall meeting at the Rochester International Event Center.

This will be Sanders second campaign event in Minnesota in the past two months. In May, several thousand people attended a Sanders rally in Minneapolis. He is campaigning heavily on eliminating income inequality by raising taxes on the wealthy, universal pre-kindergarten and subsidies for college tuition.

Sanders visit comes the week after Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton held a private fundraiser in Minneapolis. She held no public events.
