FEATURE
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg has gained national attention for reviving his once-dying city and for his spirited run for Democratic National Committee chair this past winter. Major publications and television news programs have speculated on his chances to become a valid candidate for his party’s nomination for president in 2020. In the midst of a cross state tour this week, Buttigieg stopped in Bloomington to speak yesterday with Monroe County Democratic figures at a meet-and-greet before addressing the Bloomington Chamber of Commerce. Michael Glab was at the meet-and-greet and recorded the South Bend mayor’s chat for this week’s edition of Big Talk.
