Pete Buttigieg on reform:
“But when a political consultant says to me, don’t talk about all this reform, democracy stuff, we got to be talking about the kitchen table. To me, the reason why we have so many problems at the kitchen table is the problem in our political system”

Amy Acton's estranged mother lost custody of her children after her second husband was charged with rape and indicted by a grand jury. In court, Amy's mother stood by her husband instead of her twelve-year-old daughter. They haven't spoken since that day in court, nearly 50 years ago.
Politics has become such a disappointing sport of outrage-fueled mud-slinging, personal attacks targeting families, and blatant lies designed to divide. Candidates should debate the issues and focus on convincing voters that their plans and leadership will make life better. That's what politics should be about: bringing people together. Stunts like today's attack ad against Dr. Acton are beneath anyone seeking to lead. https://t.co/ukLkim9qCP

.@PeteButtigieg tells @SarahLongwell25 why Democrats should stop treating red states as lost causes, pointing to crowds turning out deep in Republican territory and a political consensus that crosses party lines:
"There is no such thing as a permanently red state."
This is the energy we need 15 days out from Election Day! It was great to see so many Virginians show up to support Tom Perriello, Shannon Taylor, Elaine Luria, and Rep. Jennifer McClellan this afternoon. Let’s keep going through the finish line!
I've long admired @PeteButtigieg. As a leader, he demonstrates empathy, intelligence, and strength.
Sec. Buttigieg and I absolutely see eye-to-eye on our love of country and our calling to service. I'm proud that our campaign has earned his endorsement.

Honored to have veteran brother @PeteButtigieg’s support. We risked our lives for our country and know this moment demands more leaders who build, not break, trust. On my word as a 30-yr Marine, I’ll honor that trust by working everyday to get better results for everyday people.
I had a good time talking to students at UNC Charlotte with @MPUniversityUS this weekend. Thanks to everybody who showed up on a Sunday ready to ask tough questions and engage in conversation.
