Jane Sanders, wife of Democratic presidential hopeful U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, will make a pair of appearances in Honolulu today as the Sanders campaign ramps up its efforts to woo delegates in advance of the March 26 Hawaii Democratic presidential preference poll.

Jane Sanders is scheduled to host a private veterans roundtable with U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard at the Disabled Veterans of America headquarters this afternoon.

She will also hold a meet-and-greet event at Church of the Crossroads at 5 p.m. The event is open to the public but RSVPs, which can be submitted to 808ne.ws/1puHP6u, are recommended.

Jane Sanders is a former president of Burlington College in Vermont and has assisted her husband in various roles during his political career. The two married in 1988.

She made headlines last week when she dropped in on Maricopa County (Ariz.) Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s infamous “Tent City” prison facility and engaged the controversial sheriff in a brief back-and-forth over racial profiling and humane prison conditions.

On Saturday, former Hawaii Mayor Harry Kim and state Sen. Russell Ruderman were on hand as the Sanders campaign opened an office in Hilo. The campaign opened another office at Ward Center in Honolulu on March 9.

Hawaii residents can also expect to see much of Bernie Sanders on television as the campaign begins running ads on local stations. The ads will focus on topics like Sanders’ formative years, his vision for America and his record of public service.

Sanders could face an uphill battle in Hawaii, where much of the Democratic establishment — including U.S. Sens. Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono and Rep. Mark Takai — has pledged its support to front-runner Hillary Clinton. She also has the support of former Govs. George Ariyoshi, John Waihee and Ben Cayetano.

Sanders did pick up a key endorsement earlier this month from Gabbard, who resigned her post as Democratic National Committee vice chairwoman to formally support him.

Hawaii will send 35 delegates to the Democratic National Convention July 25-28 in Philadelphia. Twenty-five will be pledged to presidential contenders based on preferences expressed at the March 26 preference poll. There are also 10 unpledged “superdelegates” comprising five Democratic National Committee members, the four-person Hawaii congressional delegation and the governor.

Donald Trump won the state’s Republican caucus on March 9.
