I highly recommend listening to the podcast on Preet's Stay Tuned series of Preet interviewing Buttigieg. I was really impressed with him on many levels. He's super intelligent in an accessible way, speaks clearly, thoughtfully, from the heart. He's steeped in political philosophy, which I studied. Definitely a progressive, a liberal in all the best ways.
I don't think I'd support him this go round, but the guy is 37 and so accomplished. I hope he's teeing up for Indiana governor and then a presidential run.

Then I watched the podcast.
