Mayor Pete represents the best of our Hoosier values: compassion, hospitality, servant leadership, and everything in between. We deserve a curious, thoughtful leader in the White House. #PeteForAmerica#IN4Pete
See why we love Pete:

The death penalty in America is not only a cruel practice, it furthers systemic racism and has taken too many Black lives. It cannot deliver equal or true justice—it's time for it to end. For proof, we need to look no further than the case of Rodney Reed. https://t.co/0vVoWsnq6x
I believe there is good within all of us. If you choose to see the human, the fragile, the confused, and the hurting in all of those around you, then you understand the importance of connecting with everyone on a human level, too.
Then I had the privilege of joining #ReformFirst candidate
@PeteButtigieg to talk about why he's committed to overturning Citizens United and fixing our democracy.

Go out there and make someone feel good about themselves today. Try extra hard to be gracious and kind. Hold the door, give the compliment, acknowledge hard work, practice gratitude. You have the power to give others hope.
Black women earn just 61 cents for every dollar earned by white men. That means a Black woman doing the same job as her white male counterpart in 2018 wouldn't have caught up until now. This gap is the result of centuries of systemic racism, gender discrimination, and exclusion.
It's time to break with the politics of the past and usher in a new era for rural America—that begins by securing its health. Today I’m proud to announce a plan to invest in too often overlooked communities and secure a healthy future for rural Americans. https://t.co/twi705R3W0

"My responsibility as a mayor is in fact, not only to citizens, but to residents. And what we realized is we had many residents who were not able to access things that the rest of us of take for granted." - @PeteButtigieg at @NALEO in June
“@PeteButtigieg also declared some of the clearest denunciations by any candidate of the causes of recent shootings such as El Paso, saying, “America is under attack, among other things, from white nationalist violence and we have got to call it out for what it is.”
Toni Morrison’s writing called America to understand the consequences of slavery and segregation, and challenged the world to wrestle with what it means to be beautiful and beloved. Like millions, I am better for having learned from her exquisite understanding of humanity.
.@JoyAnnReid: “We spoke with @PeteButtigieg…he had one of the strongest statements out earlier: 'We are under attack from homegrown white nationalist terrorism. That ideology is evil, it is being condoned at the highest levels of our government.”
America is under attack from homegrown white nationalist terrorism. That ideology is evil. It is being condoned at the highest levels of our government. And today it inspired a gunman to claim at least 20 lives in #ElPaso.
Enough is enough. We have an obligation to act.
“If the [NRA] now has people viewing guns as a thing to be loved, a thing to be protected, a thing that is a source of our freedom and power, and a thing to which we are willing to sacrifice human life, isn’t that the definition of a false god?” @PeteButtigieg
This morning, @PeteButtigieg brought one message- a message strongly against white nationalism in the White House and for stronger national gun safety laws- to @FoxNewsSunday, @amjoyshow, and @CNNSotu. That’s the sort of nominee the Dem Party desperately needs.
