Friend,
Last week, on stage at the Democratic National Convention, Pete said:
"I believe in a better politics – one that finds us at our most decent and open and brave. The kind of politics that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are offering. And as you have felt in these last couple of days, there is joy in it – as well as power.
"And if all of that sounds naive, let me insist that I have come to this view, not by way of idealism, but by way of experience. Not just the experience of my unlikely career, someone like me serving in Indiana, serving in Washington, serving in uniform. I'm thinking of something much more basic.
"I'm thinking of dinnertime at our house in Michigan, when the dog is barking, and the air fryer is beeping, and the mac and cheese is boiling over, and it feels like all the political negotiating experience in the world is not enough for me to get our three-year-old son and our three-year-old daughter to just wash their hands and sit at the table. It's the part of our day when politics seems the most distant.
"And yet the makeup of our kitchen table – the existence of my family – is just one example of something that was literally impossible as recently as 25 years ago when an anxious teenager growing up in Indiana wondered if he would ever find belonging in the world.
"This kind of life went from impossible, to possible; from possible to real; from real to almost ordinary, in less than half a lifetime.
"But that didn’t just happen. It was brought about. Through idealism and courage. Through organizing and persuasion. And storytelling and, yes, through politics. The right kind of politics.
"This November we get to choose. We get to choose our President, we get to choose our policies, but most of all, we can choose a better politics.”
