I have never felt so empowered by a presidential candidate. I know in my heart he is a decent man, a man of intelligence and wit, compassion and complication. He has learned lessons from his life, and comprehends the fight people have to forever wage to better themselves. He possesses empathy, focus, and pride. He … Continue reading As Pete Buttigieg Meets President Barack Obama…

#PeteButtigieg heading inside for the Detroit debate. Does he look worried to you?
As Pete Buttigieg Continues to Gain Traction with His Approach to Policy…
Someone posted yesterday on my Twitter feed, “if you’re not happy with the Mueller hearing outcome, it’s time to get yourself organized and make a real difference for Pete Buttigieg to get him elected.” Well, that’s easy to say, but not easy to do. I can’t get the garage organized and I’ve been meaning to … Continue reading As Pete Buttigieg Continues to Gain Traction with His Approach to Policy…
As Pete Buttigieg Shows Us Exactly How He Will Govern…
There is an additional level of brilliance to the #BeLikePete hash tag I only realized last night. We already know Pete is the “slow burn” candidate. There’s an intentional steadiness in the way he’s making his case, one American town at a time. But there’s more. By the example he’s setting, Pete makes it clear he isn’t … Continue reading As Pete Buttigieg Shows Us Exactly How He Will Govern…
As Pete Buttigieg Becomes A National Name…
Do you remember where we were on November 8, 2000? We were waiting to see if our next president would be Gore or Bush. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but the fight was over ballots in Florida, where Bush’s brother was running the state. There’s an episode of "Politically Incorrect with Bill … Continue reading As Pete Buttigieg Becomes A National Name…
As Pete Buttigieg’s Candidacy Widens Our Way of Thinking…
I am a big supporter of Pete Buttigieg and the kind of administration he is advocating for this country. But I don’t think I’m alone in being challenged by people because of it. I’ve been told things akin to: I’m being naïve. No politician can cut through the bureaucracy, overcome gridlock, and avoid being beholden … Continue reading As Pete Buttigieg’s Candidacy Widens Our Way of Thinking…
As Pete Buttigieg Proves He’s a “Game of Thrones” level player…
Perhaps Pete Buttigieg is the most “oppo-proof” candidate in presidential history. Last night I watched the one in the White House openly invite foreign governments to supply his campaign with opposition research on his rivals. This is no doubt a useful tool if one is looking to smear a candidate with much to hide. But … Continue reading As Pete Buttigieg Proves He’s a “Game of Thrones” level player…
As Mayor Pete’s Rise Continues to Draw Eyes…
Here’s a question you may be asked: “Is America really ready for a gay president?” My answer is: “It will be by the time I’m done.” Raised in a Catholic family, I made the best move when I told my parents I was gay: I got them drunk first. They were staying with me in … Continue reading As Mayor Pete’s Rise Continues to Draw Eyes…
As Pete Buttigieg Becomes a National Name…
I’ve learned that being “present” makes a difference in the way people decide if they can trust you. But it takes practice. Being closeted as a gay man until my mid-twenties, I was never present. I was always afraid my secret would be found out. When you do that long enough, it becomes your nature. … Continue reading As Pete Buttigieg Becomes a National Name…
