Pete has proven himself to be the best and brightest in the ever-growing field of 22 Democrats running to see who will take on President Trump.
It’s been a wild ride for national newcomer South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg. He announced his presidential Exploratory Committee on January 23 in Washington, D.C. and in four short months, Pete is nipping at the heels of frontrunners Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders in state and national polls.
I know a little something about running for president. I ran in the 2012 as the very first openly gay major-party candidate. I ran in a very different party, in a very different time with a very different president in office. I made news because I was the first and because I ran as a Republican. Pete has recently faced some criticism for being so open about being gay. Some critics even jumped on him for kissing his husband Chasten at their big announcement rally in South Bend last month. Well, that is what couples do. And boy did I start crying when I saw them embrace as millions of people watched all over the world. It was so natural, so normal, so important.
People who care should donate now. As our old California Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh famously said, “ money is the mother’s milk of politics."
