El Paso Times endorses Pete Buttigieg for the Democratic nomination for president. Here's why
The surviving Democratic candidates for president offer voters a contrast in ideology, age, gender, sexual orientation and the life experiences that shaped them. They are proof in the flesh that diversity is more than skin deep despite the exit of every candidate of color before Texans had an opportunity to choose.
Democratic voters need someone they can trust to do two things represent their values and defeat President Donald Trump. You aren't alone if you've felt pressured to choose electability over principle.
For us, both conscience and strategic calculation led to Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, as the best candidate to lead this country to a better future, where the focus is again on finding common ground and uniting Americans.
Buttigieg is a veteran, well-educated and not a millionaire or billionaire. He has served as a mayor, so he has worked closest to the issues that seem to beat down American families. Buttigieg also is multilingual (including Spanish) and so well-read that he is wise beyond his years.
