Pete Buttigieg Biography

Pete Buttigieg, an American politician, gained prominence during his tenure as the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, from 2012 to 2020. Buttigieg excelled in his professional career, working as a consultant for McKinsey and holding positions as a naval intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve. His notable deployment to Afghanistan in 2014 led to his commendation and the receipt of the Joint Service Commendation Medal. Before getting into politics, Buttigieg actively participated in Democratic campaigns, supporting candidates such as John Kerry, Joe Donnelly, and Jill Long Thompson. In a groundbreaking moment in 2015, he came out as gay, becoming South Bend's 32nd mayor and making history as an openly gay elected official. This courageous step garnered significant support, leading to his successful reelection. In April 2019, Buttigieg announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States in the 2020 election, marking him as the first openly gay person to launch a major presidential campaign. Despite initial skepticism, he gained considerable support by participating in town halls, forums, and debates. Notably, Buttigieg narrowly emerged victorious in the pledged delegate count during the Iowa caucuses. He achieved a tied count in the New Hampshire primary, solidifying his status as the first openly gay presidential candidate to garner delegates from a major American political party.
