about Buttigieg. I am excited to hear more and see how he does on a national stage. I have not started to delve deeply into the candidates I don't know much about yet but I have read some really good things about him.

but he's 37. So there's 2024 and/or 2028. He holds so much promise. Maybe he becomes a governor or a Congressman or a Senator in the meantime.

This is the first step and he is jumping right in. I love his courage. I certainly support his running and if I can afford it I would throw a little money his way just to let him know we are out here and interested. Once I know more I will see what I can do to help him become better known. Probably not much but damn, I do love his courage and commitment.

I think Pete has a lot to offer and he would help balance the age factor.
