LINCOLN PARK — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will bring his campaign to Chicago Monday evening, his staff said.

The Vermont senator will hold a "meet-and-greet" fundraiser at 5 p.m. at Park West, 322 W. Armitage Ave. in Lincoln Park, according to his campaign website.

This will only be the fifth official fundraiser of his campaign, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Most of his funding has come from individual donations.

The last time Sanders was in Chicago, it was to stump for mayoral candidate Jesus "Chuy" Garcia and Ald. Susan Sadlowski-Garza (10th). The Sun-Times reported that both figures will return the favor, appearing at Monday's event to speak in support of the populist candidate. 

Tickets range from $50 to $1,000 and can be bought online.
