PETE MAKES LGBTQ HISTORY!

It’s official: Pete Buttigieg is America’s first out permanent U.S. Cabinet Secretary! Pete was sworn-in with his husband, Chasten, by his side. We’re thrilled he’ll be adding an essential LGBTQ perspective to the Cabinet.

As Victory Fund President & CEO Mayor Annise Parker noted, Pete’s confirmation is transformative, showing LGBTQ leaders and youth that they too can reach the highest levels of government.

Everyone’s favorite Road Warrior, Danica Roem, celebrated Pete’s confirmation hearing – and reminded him that she’s ready to fix the notoriously bad Rt. 28.
