A New York Times profile of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders' fatherhood gives Oregonians one more reason to feel the Bern.

Sanders' son, Levi, is a University of Oregon alumnus.

The Times reports:

Levi Sanders received a B.A. in history in 1992.

Little detail is available on Levi Sanders' undergraduate days in Eugene. But his father enjoys substantial support in Oregon.
