The longest-serving African-American member on South Bend, Indiana’s Common Council endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden on Friday for the Democratic Party presidential nomination over his city’s own mayor, Pete Buttigieg.

“In times like these, when the political winds are fiercely blowing across our country, it’s important for us to have an experienced leader who has been through the diverse storms of life to guide our country,” Councilman Oliver Davis said in a statement released by the Biden campaign. “That’s why I am very pleased to support Vice President Joe Biden to be our next president of the United States of America.”
