I'd like to see Pete Buttigieg as

Chairman of the DNC.

He’s a clear communicator. Nobody thinks quicker on his or her feet and he has a way of calmly dismantling lies and interviewers. I think he’s brilliant with an encyclopedic memory and knowledge store.

Truth to tell, I’d really like to see him as president. We’re just not there yet. I mean, *we* are, but you know…maybe one day.

Again , while he has the correct parts in the pants, I think there are some people who won't vote for him because he's gay. We can risk losing 20,000 or whatever prejudice people but we need them.

He is a role model for all but particularly kids who finding out who they are at puberty and having a hard time with family and the society they live in.

I worked for him back in 2019/2020. I got to meet him, and Chasten!

Best of all? I got to vote for him in California before he withdrew.

And I think he’d make a great Governor- but I really don’t know if he can win here right now.
The state has moved - but part of the question will be who he republicans put up for Governor. If it’s Mike Rogers in 2026, then it’s going to be a tough race. I’m just glad he’s honking about it. He’s the right guy for President some day.
