Hi there,

I’m Austan Goolsbee -- former Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers for President Barack Obama. In the years that I’ve been in politics, I’ve never witnessed a race quite like this one. The democratic field is saturated with candidates, but in my mind, the choice is clear: Pete Buttigieg.

Pete is the change our country needs. With the first contest approaching in 17 days, we need your help so Team Pete can gather the resources critical to winning Iowa on February 3rd.

Pete reminds me of my former boss. A Washington outsider with an unusual last name, fighting for the change the American people desperately need. I was there working on the Obama campaign in 2007 and 2008 when President Obama overcame the attacks and the smears to win the nomination and serve as our 44th president. He faced similar challenges to the ones Pete has had to overcome this last year. 

From health care to climate change, to student debt, Pete is always looking out for people that have been ignored. He believes in a new era of politics that helps vulnerable Americans instead of taking advantage of them.

America is ready for a fresh start.

We need a president who is ready to pick up the pieces the day after Donald Trump leaves and will make the economy work for you and your families. Pete is the candidate who can unite Americans and usher our country into a new era.

The race is getting tighter, and the stakes are getting higher. The polls show that it’s anyone’s game. We need your support more than ever. Please make a donation today.

Change is possible. I was part of it before and I’m excited to be part of it again.

Thanks,

Austan Goolsbee
