Department of Transportation (2021-), United States mayor (2012-2020),South BendAwards And Honors: Rhodes ScholarshipEducation and early careerBoth of Buttigieg’s parents were professors at the University of Notre Dame. His father, animmigrant from Malta, taught literature, and his mother taught linguistics. Buttigieg attendedHarvard University, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history and literature in2004. He later studied at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes scholar. After earning abachelor’s degree in philosophy, politics, and economics from Oxford’s Pembroke College in2007, he returned to the United States. For several years Buttigieg worked for the managementconsulting firm McKinsey & Company in Chicago. In 2008 he served as an adviser to Jill LongThompson, a Democratic candidate in the Indiana gubernatorial race; she lost the election. Thefollowing year Buttigieg became an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve, serving until2017.Mayor of South BendButtigieg first ran for elective office in 2010, losing a bid to become treasurer of Indiana. Hequickly rebounded from that defeat, winning election as mayor of South Bend in 2011. At thetime he took office in January 2012, Buttigieg was the youngest mayor of an American city with more than 100,000 residents. Because many of his constituents had difficulty pronouncing hislast name (“BOOT-edge-edge”), he was widely referred to simply as “Mayor Pete.” During hisfirst term, he carried out an ambitious program to demolish or repair more than 1,000abandoned houses in South Bend. His “Smart Streets” initiative also transformed the city’sdowntown by redesigning its streets and sidewalks, an effort that helped bring hundreds ofmillions of dollars in new investment to the area. In 2014 Buttigieg took a leave from his mayoralduties to serve a seven-month deployment in Afghanistan with the Navy Reserve. In June 2015he came out publicly as gay in an essay published in the South Bend Tribune. He later married(2018) Chasten Glezman, a schoolteacher.Buttigieg won reelection by a wide margin in November 2015. During his second term, racialtensions in the city increased, particularly in the wake of the fatal shooting in 2019 of Blackresident Eric Logan by a white South Bend police sergeant. Buttigieg was criticized for hisoversight of the police department. He later acknowledged that many of his efforts to reform thedepartment, including attempts to recruit more minority police officers, had been unsuccessful.During this time, Buttigieg’s national profile began to rise, and in 2017 he ran for chairman of theDemocratic National Committee.

Although he ultimately dropped out, many pundits viewed himas a rising star in the party. In 2018 he announced that he would not seek a third term as mayorthe following year; he left office in 2020.In April 2019 Buttigieg entered the 2020 U.S.presidential race, joining a crowded field of candidates vying for the Democratic nomination. Hequickly gained momentum, positioning himself as a political outsider who could bring a freshperspective to Washington. He called for a significant increase in federal funding for renewableenergy development and stronger gun-control laws. He also proposed a new health care plan,summarized by the slogan “Medicare for all who want it.” The plan offered a public alternative toprivate health insurance while allowing Americans to retain their private coverage if theypreferred. In February 2020 Buttigieg narrowly won the delegate count in the Iowa caucuses,becoming the first openly gay candidate to win delegates in a major U.S. political party’spresidential primary. Shortly afterward he placed second in the New Hampshire primary. Incontests held later that month, however, Buttigieg lost ground, placing third in the Nevadacaucuses and fourth in the South Carolina primary. The poor showings were largely attributed tohis limited funds and inability to win the support of Black voters. Buttigieg ended his campaign inearly March as Democratic voters began to rally around former U.S. vice president Joe Biden.Buttigieg subsequently endorsed Biden, who defeated Pres. Donald Trump in the Novemberelection.In December 2020 Biden nominated Buttigieg to lead the Department of Transportation (DOT).The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed Buttigieg on February 2, 2021, and he was sworn in thefollowing day. Not only was he the first openly gay person to hold a U.S. cabinet post, he alsowas the youngest person to serve as secretary of transportation. Among his top priorities wereplans to rebuild roads, bridges, railways, and other transportation infrastructure across thecountry. In addition, he sought projects that would increase racial equity. Later in 2021 he was avocal supporter of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which passed Congress inNovember. The legislation provided billions of dollars to DOT.THE CURIOUS MIND of PeteButtigieg holds much of its functionality in reserve. Even as he discusses railroads and airlines, down to the pointillist data that is his current stock-in-trade, the US secretary of transportationcomes off like a Mensa black card holder who might have a secret Go habit or a three-secondRubik’s Cube solution or a knack for supplying, off the top of his head, the day of the week for arandom date in 1404, along with a non-condescending history of the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
