Bernie Sanders fundraising for the Democratic Party in Iowa.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is hitting all the familiar campaign stops as he considers whether to run for president in 2016.

Sanders will be the main dinner speaker on May 17 at the "Hall of Fame Dinner for 2014" hosted by Democrats in Clinton County, Iowa. The event is described as the year's main county Democratic fundraiser.

On Thursday, the Progressive Democrats of America will hold its first organizing meeting in Iowa for the "Draft Bernie Sanders for President" campaign, according to several Iowa newspapers. Attendees may sign a petition urging Sanders to run as a Democrat, volunteer to work on his campaign or buy tickets for his Clinton County speech. The petition is posted on the group's web site.
