Undated: Peter
Paul Montgomery Buttigieg (born January 19, 1982)
is an American former
naval intelligence officer and incumbent
mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012.
Buttigieg is a graduate of
Harvard University and
Pembroke College, Oxford, on a
Rhodes Scholarship. From 2007 to 2010 he worked at
McKinsey and Company, a management strategy consulting firm.[4]
From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the
United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying
for the
War in Afghanistan in 2014.[5][6]
Buttigieg was first
elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was
reelected in 2015. During his tenure as mayor of South Bend, Buttigieg's
policies were widely credited with significantly spurring economic growth and
business investment. Buttigieg also campaigned for
Indiana State Treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the
Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections.
On April 14, 2019, Buttigieg formally announced he was running for the
Democratic nomination for
president of the United States in 2020 after having formed an exploratory
committee in January 2019.[7][8][9]
His platform includes support for
universal healthcare, reducing
income inequality,
pro-environmental policies, dialogue and cooperation between the Democratic
Party and
organized labor,
universal background checks for firearms purchases, the
Equality Act, and preserving the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program for children of immigrants. Buttigieg also supports reforms that would end
gerrymandering, overturn
Citizens United v. FEC, and abolish the
Electoral College.[10][11]
