Pete Buttigieg Receives Major Endorsement & Launches a New Campaign Ad ‘Show Up’— WATCH

Yesterday Pete Buttigieg received a sterling endorsement from Sen. Adam Hollier, D-Detroit, who serves Michigan’s 2nd District

.Hollier, who is Black, wrote in the Detroit News, “People ask me whether black voters will support someone who is gay — the answer is yes. Black people elected Lori Lightfoot as the Mayor of Chicago, Jeremy Moss to the Michigan Senate in Southfield, and hundreds of gay candidates across the country. The only thing notable about Buttigieg’s choice of spouse should be that he had the wisdom to marry a Michigan resident.  People point out that he’s young. But when I ran for office as a 34-year-old, Ivy League-educated military officer who lives in the same community he was raised in, I didn’t ask voters to trust experience; I asked them to believe in character. Over the past year, reflecting on what we need in 2020, I’ve listened to presidential biographies from Washington to Johnson. Our best presidents were leaders we could believe in, with the temperament and judgment to manage crises. In my fellow veteran Buttigieg, I see the temperament, character and values of a great president.”
