In a stunning upset in 1981, @SenSanders won the mayoral race in Burlington, Vermont’s largest city. He shocked the city’s political establishment by defeating a six-term, local machine mayor. Burlington is now reported to be one of the most livable cities in the nation. 
In 1984, Mayor @SenSanders established the Burlington Community Land Trust - the 1st municipal housing land-trust in the country for affordable housing. The project became a model emulated throughout the world. It later won an award from HUD.
