Serving in Afghanistan, we had to be united in our mission.
After corporate greed ripped apart the rust belt, my city had to find a way forward.
Whenever I visit, I hear Iowans' frustration with politics so broken for so long.
We keep sending politicians to Washington to fight for us, but then when they get there, they seem more interested in the part about fighting, than the part about us.
I'm Pete Buttigieg, and I approved this message, to insist we tackle our challenges together, because we have to.
