Yes, I am gay. And I am the son of an immigrant and an Army brat. And I am a husband. And I am a musician. And I am an Episcopalian. And I am a Democrat. But above all, I am running as an American. I am here to build bridges and to tear down walls -

is a “promising young leader from the heartland who intuitively understands what it takes to win the next election and usher in a future where we can both succeed and live up to our highest ideals.”
Tonight on
@MSNBC
, Tammy Baldwin made the stakes of her race crystal clear.
On one side is the NRSC’s hand picked candidate, a California mega millionaire who will vote for a national abortion band.
On the other side is Tammy, fighting for the freedom for all women.
The biggest shoutout to
@Lis_Smith

Not very often you get to work for the best in the business. Enjoying every single day of it.

a winner of tonight's debate:
"If voters were looking for a Sanders alternative who looked like he could be commander in chief in this debate, Buttigieg made a very good case for himself."
This morning Robert De Niro told

5 months ago, it was
@petebuttigieg
, Mike, and me prepping in a tiny campaign office in South Bend. Tonight, the stage we are prepping is a *wee* bit bigger.
Some life news... I'm proud to be joining
@tammybaldwin
as Comms Director for her reelection campaign. As we all saw last week, Wisconsin is the battleground state right now and nobody knows how to fight and win like Tammy does.
It’s official: I’m running for reelection!
Wisconsin’s working families deserve a Senator who’s going to fight for them—not shady special interests or big corporations. We’ve made a lot of progress, but the stakes have never been higher and our work isn’t over yet.
Anyone who knows me knows how much I believe in this idea. Proud to rollout this plan today.

@PeteButtigieg
reminds us that there's no such thing as good and bad Americans, only people led down different paths by different leadership. "To me [the] contest is not between good Americans and evil Americans. It’s the struggle to call out what is good in every American."
President-Elect
@JoeBiden
: "I got to know
@PeteButtigieg
on the campaign trail. He's one of the smartest people you'll ever meet and one of the most humble... A new voice with new ideas determined to move past old politics."

When I said yes, I was sure America was ready for a midwestern, millennial, gay, veteran mayor to bring decency back to the White House.
Iowa, you're up first. Let's go.

The swing in support to
@JoeBiden

“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?”

Pete Buttigieg: “We have to believe in the possibility of political change, but we also have to hold our leaders accountable when they fail to deliver it. And this isn't just a policy issue. This is a cultural issue”
