BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS - Congresswoman Tina (Bernie) Sanders answered questions at a press conference held last Friday for her re-election bid, and held firm to her left-wing anti-war stance.

Tina Sanders was questioned during the press conference on her opinion on the war in Iraq, and she replied stating that she was fully against it.

In the past, Sanders has stood firmly in her opposition to wars, and has repeatedly voted against financing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She has also called for the withdrawal of troops from those countries on several occasions during her tenure as a congresswoman.

Tina Sanders is running against Ray (Harry) Reid, who, in the past, has also opposed the Iraq war. Neither candidate revealed whether they were for, or against United States intervention in Libya.

Reid did not take or answer any questions during the press conference pertaining to United States foreign policy.

Both candidates have experience in dealing with foreign policy. Both served multiple terms as congress people, which, in their timespan, have seen the United States become involved in multiple foreign wars and multiple diplomatic crises with foreign countries.

The press conference finished early and on time, with both candidates receiving an equal amount of applause.
