Jen Ellis, an Essex Junction, Vermont second grade teacher and craft hobbyist, is the woman behind Bernie Sanders’ now mega-viral Biden inauguration mittens and she has been flooded with more than 12,000 requests she can’t fulfill.
Ellis, who lives with her partner, Liz, and their kindergarten-age daughter, told Jewish Insider that “she gave the mittens to Sanders as a gift five years ago, but has never met him, even though she is an admirer.”
