Pete Buttigieg

Picture
“I’m definitely the only left-handed Maltese-American-Episcopalian-gay-millennial-war veteran in the race, but I think profile is just what gets you that first look.”

"I am a Democrat because I believe in protecting freedom, fairness, families, and the future."

"Most people have trouble pronouncing my name, so they just call me 'Mayor Pete.'"

Meet Pete!

I was born on January 19, 1982 is a politician who served as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. At the young age of 37, not only have I been mayor but I have also served in the Navy, which makes me one of the only two veterans running for Democratic Party nomination, and I was a former consultant for Mckinsley & Company. I am the youngest candidate in the 2020 Presidential race as well as the first openly gay man to participate in a major Presidential election. I am candidate from the younger side of spectrum, in which I am building this campaign off of. I am part of the generation that grew up with school shootings and in worse economic standings compared to many other American citizens. I will ensure that America's future is better than its past.

Policies

Gun Safety

  • I pledge to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines
  • I will conduct a system of universal background checks and close loopholes
  • I will instill a Nationwide gun purchasing system

Immigration

- I envision a grand bargain/political compromise regarding our immigration policies.
  • I believe that border security is necessary.
  • I support the deferred action for the childhood arrivals program
  • My policies require a rational approach, in which I want to create reforms for the lawful immigration system

Healthcare

- I believe that healthcare should be a choice for people between the plan that they are already on, whether it is employer sponsored or union based.
​- The alternative would a government healthcare plan, the Affordable Care Act, that would be available for people to opt in to. This plan is also known as the public option.

​- The plan will cost $1.5 trillion over the next decade, making the cost come out to $150 billion a year for the public option.
​- The way that the plan will be paid for will be through getting rid of the Trump corporate tax cuts and by allowing the government to negotiate drug prices.
- I will expand the federal subsidies for private insurance sold in the Affordable Care Act marketplace in order to make healthcare more affordable for people with lower incomes. People in states that do not have expanded Medicaid in their state would be automatically enrolled.
​- There would also be a cap on out of pocket costs for seniors that are on Medicare.

Education

  • I believe families with higher wages should pay tuition
  • I pledge to reduce student debt
  • I will implement a system of free college for low and middle income students for whom cost could be a barrier
  • States should pay more for higher education.
  • Charter schools can’t replace public schools.
  • I will raise teachers’ salaries to increase education nationally.

Economy

  • I strive to raise more money for the government
  • I will considering wealth tax/ wealthy property taxes on estate
  • I believe the American economy is flawed but has the right idea (wants to build on it)
  • I pledge to raise up to $5 billion in apprenticeship networks around the country (increase job opportunities)
  • I will create an “Internet for All” initiative which allows expanded internet services
  • I will reduce shortages of teachers by increasing salaries by 50%
  • ​I pledge to place a higher tax towards the rich.
  • I strive to give back to the middle-class if taxed
  • I will implement a system in which there will be the building and funding of public buildings and events

Environment

  •   I released a climate plan in September in which I vowed to implement "a bold and achievable Green New Deal" and laid out an ambitious pathway to net zero emissions economy-wide by 2050 that focuses on expanding clean energy jobs and making the United States the world's clean tech leader.
  • By 2035, I envision a zero-emissions electricity system and all new passenger vehicles being zero emissions. By 2040, I see requiring net zero emissions for all new heavy-duty vehicles, buses, trains, ships and aircraft, and having a thriving carbon removal industry.
  • ​My plan to create 3 million new jobs includes a 10-year, $200 billion commitment to retrain workers displaced in the transition away from fossil fuels. I also have a plan to create a Climate Corps service program focused on helping communities build resilience and sustainability.​
  • Call for "quadrupling federal research and development funding" for renewable energy and energy storage, investing $200 billion over 10 years, and spending $550 billion on deploying clean energy technologies.

Abortion

  • I believe it is not right to decide whether a woman should be able to get an abortion or not.
  • Woman should have reproductive freedoms, in which women should decide to draw the line by themselves.
  • I will expand access by letting doctors prescribe abortion medication remotely to women who don’t have a clinic nearby.
  • I pledge to support legislation that requires hospitals and clinic staff to take anti-bias and anti-racism training.
