HUGE NEWS, John!
In case you missed it, we just hosted THE U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, on our latest podcast episode!!!
|
|
Secretary Buttigieg – also lovingly known as "Mayor Pete" during the 2020 primaries – gave us an amazing insider view into what it’s like to head a major department of the U.S. government under President Biden’s leadership. It sure ain't easy, and now we can really appreciate the major wins he’s secured since taking the position:
|
🏗️ Reinstating local hiring initiatives for public works projects.
🛣️ Launching the $1 billion Reconnecting Communities program to reconnect communities targeted by racist redlining policies.
📢 Promoting crucial legislation, like the American Jobs Plan and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
👪 Advocating for paid parental leave nationwide.
|
… and so much more!
This list scratches the surface of the many improvements made under his leadership – but we think Secretary Buttigieg has made serious steps toward bringing American infrastructure back, better than ever.
|
But with the clock ticking ahead of the 2024 election cycle, and the GOP House majority dead-set on blocking any and all progress, Secretary Buttigieg and President Biden are going to be facing an uphill battle to get the job done over the next two years.
|
That's why we want to hear what our unapologetically pro-democracy activists think about the work Secretary Pete has done since taking office two years ago. So please, John, let us know:
|
Do you approve of Secretary Pete Buttigieg's performance thus far?

Thanks for adding your voice, and as always – SHOUTOUT TO THE MEIDASMIGHTY!
