> WASHINGTON, May 13 (UPI) -- Democratic presidential candidate Vermont Sen.
> Bernie Sanders said he is not being granted fair representation on
> committees that will decide proceedings at the Democratic National
> Convention.
>
>
>
> Sanders released a letter last week, calling on Democratic National
> Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to revisit the DNC's list of
> standing committee members. Sanders said of the 45 names his campaign
> submitted for consideration, three were named to DNC standing committees,
> and none were put on the important Rules Committee, which decides how the
> convention will play out.
>
>
>
> "In order to reflect the views and aspirations of the millions who support
> both my candidacy and Secretary [Hillary] Clinton's, I believe that the
> composition of the standing committees must reflect the relative support
> that has been received by both campaigns," Sanders wrote.
>
>
>
> Sanders and the DNC have clashed before in the 2016 campaign. Sanders only
> recently withdrew a lawsuit against the DNC over its suspension of his
> campaign's access to voter identification logs. The DNC said a Sanders
> staff member inappropriately accessed proprietary data belonging to Hillary
> Clinton's campaign that was housed on a shared server.
>
>
>
> *Politico reported Sanders and Wasserman Schultz, who has endorsed
> Clinton, spoke about the issue and the matter was not resolved.*
>
>
>
> Wasserman Schultz told Politico the DNC has been up front and honest with
> both campaigns and promised an open process to draft the party's platform
> in Philadelphia this summer.
>
>
>
> "I'm not at all concerned that we are going to have a divisive fight at
> our convention. At our convention we are headed toward unity," she said in
> a conference call with reporters Wednesday. "Both of our candidates have
> clearly stated that they will support the other one if they were to win the
> nomination and I would expect that we would go through a platform drafting
> process that the entire party rallies around. Both of our candidates are
> going to substantially participate in the drafting of our platform."
