Sanders’ disclosures are significantly more than what he released during his first White House run against Hillary Clinton. In 2016, Sanders released only his 2014 tax returns. The campaign framed the release of records this time around as recognition that times have changed.
He added that he considers paying more in taxes as his income has increased “both an obligation and an investment in our country.” And he pledged to “continue to fight to make our tax system more progressive so that our country has the resources to guarantee the American Dream to all people.”
