James Mueller, the hand-picked choice of Pete Buttigieg, beat out a large field of candidates to claim the Democratic primary in the race for South Bend mayor. Mueller, making his first run for public office, advances to face Republican candidate Sean Haas in the November general election, where he will be the heavy favorite in a city that hasnt elected a Republican mayor since Lloyd Allen in 1964.
A makeshift stage at Corbys Irish Pub was perhaps the perfect place for still-mayor and presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg to symbolically hand off power to his high school classmate. Its without hesitation I believe Im introducing to you the next mayor of the City of South Bend, James Mueller, Buttigieg told the crowd.
I realize we're at this critical moment in the city, and we had to figure out how we could keep the momentum going and keep building on the progress and looked around and decided that I needed to step up and deliver that, said Mueller. While Mueller admits hes not the typical politician and may not be as flashy as his current boss, Mueller is apparently known for a Rudy-like work ethic.
He's got a very no nonsense problem solving style. Hes not as much of a showman. Maybe that's a good thing for the city, but what I know is that he works ridiculously hard, he cares, he knows what he's doing, and he's got a knack for finding solutions to complicated problems, Buttigieg explained.

(2,208 posts)That's my humorous remark going over your head.
I knew it wasn't Robert Mueller, I was just trying to be light hearted and give your post a bump.
