ABOUT THE AUTHOR
PETE BUTTIGIEG has served as mayor of the city of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012.
As mayor, Buttigieg has reduced the number of vacant and abandoned properties by over one thousand, led a major reconstruction of downtown streetscapes, and initiated the largest investment in parks and public spaces in the city’s history. Elected at the age of twenty-nine, he was for a time the youngest sitting mayor of a city of over one hundred thousand residents.
Born in 1982, Buttigieg grew up in South Bend and attended Saint Joseph’s High School there. He attended Harvard, earning a bachelor’s degree in history and literature, and went on to study philosophy, politics, and economics at Pembroke College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar.
He is the recipient of the New Frontier Award from the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and the Harvard University Institute of Politics, and serves on the advisory board of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
An officer in U.S. Navy Reserve from 2009 to 2017, Buttigieg took a leave of absence to serve in Afghanistan during a seven-month deployment in 2014, earning the Joint Service Commendation Medal for his counterterrorism work.
An active musician, Buttigieg plays piano and guitar, and has performed with the South Bend Symphony Orchestra. He lives in South Bend with his husband, Chasten Glezman, and their dog, Truman.
