We've got a long way to go before achieving full equality, but I hope they were watching tonight, with my husband in the audience, and know that they belong. pic.twitter.com/AI7RRJMlpD
All Americans, regardless of background or class, should feel called to serve our nation, whether it’s in the military or national service programs. Service brings us together and promotes our values. #CNNTownHall pic.twitter.com/dqeksarXJT

Our elections are being threatened by foreign interference—and interference here at home. Gerrymandering is interference. Racial voter suppression is interference. We need a 21st Century Voting Rights Act. #CNNTownHall pic.twitter.com/DZAiv9uoBP

Mental health struggles affect every family, every workplace, every community, every neighborhood. I will be a president who not only works to get the policy right, but gives voice to those struggles. #CNNTownHall pic.twitter.com/ZiT67AMwLb

“I guess [Trump] just has a very different take on faith than I do,” says Buttigieg on Trump’s National Prayer Breakfast remarks. “...There’s a whole lot of scripture about the dangers of pride and arrogance and the importance of humility.” #CNNTownHall https://t.co/y2ya8Y64hI pic.twitter.com/OkHN4GqdNm

Because it’s an issue so close to my heart, I really liked how @PeteButtigieg just handled that heartbroken mom’s question about the need for better access to affordable addiction and mental health treatment.

Buttigieg is really good in this Town Hall format. Knocking it out of the park. Intelligent, self-effacing, confident and comfortable in his own skin. #CNNTownHall

Bravo Zulu @PeteButtigieg. This is the best answer I’ve heard on VA reform from a politician in a long time.

“The relationship this country has with veterans... It’s not about doing anyone a favor, it’s about keeping a promise.”
“I’m running to be a president for everyone.” - @PeteButtigieg Such a contrast to our current president. Excited for November! #MayorPete #CNNtownhall @neb4pete

Trying not to cry as I hold my fiancé’s hand while watching an openly gay man on our tv because he’s a top contender for the Presidency...we’ve come so far, we can’t go back#PeteForPresident #CNNTownHall

Watching @PeteButtigieg in this CNN Town Hall, I'm reminded of when I first listened to an in-depth discussion with him a year ago and tweeted this reaction. Still exceptionally impressive. https://t.co/1opVBblzAt

My husband and I were just talking about the difference between him talking and all the others. For us, we think he is actually calming to the listener. The other candidates make us worry and feel on edge. It’s inspiring. Much like we felt when Obama was running.

Say it louder for the kids in the back @PeteButtigieg...

Pete Buttigieg calls Iowa Democrats' update showing him with a narrow SDE lead (but errors that folks on here have pointed out) is "good news."

"Sen. Sanders clearly had a great night too, and I congratulate him and his supporters," he says. #CNNTownHall
Obama, best president of my lifetime (and I'm an old dog), was remarkable, agreed. But #MayorPete is in his league. https://t.co/BN4hsQFbWO
