Where Does Pete Buttigieg Stand On The Issues? Here’s Everything You Need To Know.

Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, which is the fourth-largest city in the Hoosier State. A member of the Democratic Party, Buttigieg, who is now 37 years old, assumed the South Bend mayorship at age 29. He is now seeking the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination, where he consistently polls in the top five or six candidates. Although he has sometimes portrayed himself as a slightly more centrist option than some of his far-left rivals, Buttigieg’s public policy stances reveal him to be a consistent, across-the-board progressive leftist.

Buttigieg, an open homosexual who is active with his local Episcopalian church, has been married since 2018 to Chasten Glezman. Buttigieg has become well-known for his moralistic rhetorical overtones and his advocacy of public policy through the lens of theologically liberal Christianity. He has publicly sparred with former Vice President Mike Pence, a former Indiana governor and prominent devout Christian of a more theologically conservative bent. He is the first open homosexual to seek the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.
