Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg's visit to New York this week didn't quite go as planned.

Friend--

Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg's visit to New York this week didn't quite go as planned. "Wall Street Pete" thought he could quietly visit our city for back to back closed door fundraisers with billionaires. But we didn't let that happen.

Mayor Pete's campaign didn't publicize the addresses of his events. But we canvassed the homes of his wealthiest donors asking "Where's Pete" and found him two nights in a row!

Politics shouldn't work like this. Candidates for President shouldn't spend all their time hopping from one luxury Manhattan apartment to the next. Especially not in a city with homelessness at record highs.

When the super-rich have undivided access to our elected officials, we get policies that drive inequality and destroy our planet. We don't need a president who spends his time with billionaires. We need elected officials who will make billionaires pay for the things we need--- a Green New Deal, a Homes Guarantee, and fully funded schools.
