Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · May 27 I've been calling grassroots donors to say thank you for their support. Being on the road takes resources, and I don't take it lightly when someone chooses to chip in a few dollars to make this work possible. One of those calls was with Jon in New Mexico. Here's how that conversation went:

This what it’s going to take! Well done Pete, you are a treasure.
Run for POTUS
💙
🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙
Pete for president
You should be our President.
COME TO SW VIRGINIA! We will turnout believe me!
Hey Sec. Pete, You're invited to our Sunday morning, weekly protest. Two grocery stores. Two gas stations. Two dozen small businesses. Americans who show up every week. P.S. We just need to know if we have to turn off the music so you can speak. Thanks 🇺🇲 @nd2b.bsky.social
This is what real leadership is and humility 👆 This. Is not 👇
Would love to see you in New Mexico, Pete!
I am currently watching the documentary on FDR on Netflix and I have to say the way FDR spoke to the American people reminds me of the way Pete speaks to us. IMHO, he is this generation’s FDR. Continue the great work, sir! You will always have my support!!
That's how its done
I hope he runs in 2028. I thought he needed more mileage in his first go in 2020, so voted Warren instead. That campaign & running Transportation under Biden did the trick. I feel the same about AOC should she run. She needs the mileage. A run and cabinet position would do the trick.
Another good practice with donors is to ask them before sharing their donation information outside the campaign. Some people only like the one candidate and not necessarily other candidates, even if they share the same party.
Sorry Pete. If you are laying the groundwork as they say, I’m not interested.
People don’t call themselves “grassroots donors.” Please try speaking the same language as the people you want to vote for you.
My mom fell for you the minute she heard you speak. Probably the debates? She kept telling me "I hope that Pete Boot--however you say it- wins. He's very smart and handsome!" She's 85, BTW. And sorry, I was a Bernie Bro.
Run for President, yeah? I'll vote for you
Thanks Mayor Pete. You’re a brilliant person; one that we need in government.
Inflation is a corrupt corporate choice. Made from it's impairment, not it's humanity. Meaning it's not a political affiliation, but more of a depravity of it's politics. Politics without any humanity is obvious by nature. When it's used to suppress, oppress and hurt people, it's evil.
Your presidential campaign is the only one I have ever donated to. Please run again.
Writing my check and sending it out. Come to Las Cruces, NM, we love you here!!
This is awesome!
You’re such a good man. Thank you.
I think your experience as a small town mayor really gave you a feel for grassroots campaigning You know how to listen
So important to back those doing the battle on the front lines. Even $20 matters!
How Canadian of you, sir.
For what it’s worth, I found my Pete 2020 T-shirt and bumper sticker (now on our fish freezer ❤️👍) while sorting through drawers and boxes a couple of weeks ago. My spouse mentioned he’d love it if you were President in our lifetime. I agree.
Your 2020 sticker is still on my fridge and it’s staying there! Seriously, you give me hope.
Like the person on the phone said, “You're doing something good with your donations.” You're the best, Pete. I will always be a big fan of yours.
GO PETE!!! Thank You, Sir!
Jon is a very fine person. You should meet him in New Mexiko! 💪
I am in Australia...... I would "chip in" for you...🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👋👋👋🥰🥰🥰
Pete, you are awesome! You inspire so many people! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your work. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/it-a...
As a New Mexican, please do Pete
Team Pete for life!
jfc such bs
You represent the best in America, how did we let our Nation get so off course? Will we ever recover from #MAGA? Will Congress adopt a more bipartisan approach to governing? Can we have minimum standards and term limits for members of Congress?
You are not going to be president, Peter.
It is reassuring to know there are those out there that can communicate reasonably, effectively, and like a mature adult. This shouldn't be an oddly, it should be normal. Btw, WNC here.....and couldn't make it out to see you
Y'all he's a AIPAC democrat and more importantly he's transphobic.
Go to New Mexico, you'll love it there❤️💚
This is how you talk to people 👏
RUN!!!!
What are you running for? Are the donations to a campaign or an organization you're working with?
Hey Pete, we're fighting for our Blue lives here in Texas and our man, James Talarico would probably love to have you come down and speak at a few stumps. Hope to see you on the trail! We love you in Texas, too!
New Mexico rocks.
You’re the very best of us Pete Buttigieg! You continue to inspire me and I appreciate your intelligence and your integrity. Keep on keepin’ on. ❤️
I have not donated to anyone since Kamala lost. I’ve been so disappointed + back then it was easy to give a $1, $5 here and there. These days counting every penny is a must. But thank you @petebuttigieg.bsky.social for all you have been doing.
Paint a picture. Show us a vision of an America we can live in and love again. Talk to those in power with some serious attitude. Call those motherf*ckers out. We’ll empty our freaking pockets.
Sir. We need to work on your posture! Shoulders back, boo!
Blimey that's how politicians should behave.👊🏼
🩷❤️🔥🩷❤️🔥🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
I love this.
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Pete
Pete, you're awesome.
And if you have taken AIPAC money you need to admit it and stop! And any source of Israeli bribery!
If you can full throatedly, tell me that you condemn genocidal Zionism in Israel I can have respect for you again
I think I’ve changed my mind about Pete. I was so excited by him I still am but I have a problem that he could not say that he was against the genocide in Israel. He knows what Israel has done. He knows their genocidal. He knows that the daily life in Israel 90% of the population talks hate! So?
This is great!!!
Dude..PLEASE bring back decency, values, morals, good character etc...RUN!!! You know you want to 🧐 absolutely would vote for you, love from the mitten 💛💙💛💙
You are a breath of fresh air ✨️ Thanks for the truly caring competent man you are!
Is this for your campaign? If so, How do I chip in for you? 🙂
I admire this brilliant man more than I can say. Thank you, Secretary Buttigieg💙for your love & dedication to our democracy.
Fabulous marketing tool, Pete! Achieving the most important issues all at once. Personal contact, grass roots, understanding the needs of people, keeping corporate dollars out. You got my vote in 2028!!!
I appreciate your non-adversarial, common sense ideology, and bipartisan attitude. If we had no political parties, people are elected for their qualifications and character, the nation would be better off, govt would be more proactive.
I love this and I love Pete.
Such a good person and super sexy too!
Never film yourself from this angle ever again please lmao
Love this!
Pete is a good person.
Sure thing McKinsey guy . . . you ain't it.
So very cool! This reminds me of Obama reading the letters from ordinary citizens each week. I miss having that in a POTUS.
Is this on anywhere but BlueSky so I can email this to my girlfriend? Her computer refuses our videos.. She could donate
Thank you for comng to Montana to help us stop Dark Money.
We really don't need #EmptySuitPete posing again.
1) Abolish ICE! 2) Gaza is a genocide! 3) Expand the Supreme Court! 4) Universal Healthcare! For starters, for WE The People!
I'm upset you said parents of athletes who face trans athletes have a point. They don't. You lost support from this Stanley Clark student.
You’re a good man, Pete Buttigieg. America is lucky to have you.
Thank you Pete; if you get over to see Phoenix, check out the SRP/Hoover Dam and Colorado reclamation project in Yuma. Oh and all the USDA section 504 potential from Joe Biden, it is going to be a game changer. Make sure to hit up our state here in sunny Arizona! 🇺🇸
Pete, this is so generous of you. Don't know of many other politicians who would do this or host calls for their recurring grassroots donors every month. And do Town Halls too! Your accessibility is so welcomed. Donate here! secure.actblue.com/donate/winth...
This is the first time I have seen a political figure actually call a donor and thank them.
Awwwww….☺️. I love Pete. 💞. He is such a good man. 🙏🥰
Cool, Pete, much respect for that. The one thing that I'd like to know from you: Was/Is there a genocide in Gaza, or not?
Nope
I love you, Pete!
