Synopsis

The Local America Presidential Forum, welcomed to Waterloo by Mayor Quentin Hart, was hosted by Accelerator for America and the United States Conference of Mayors, and was sponsored by Iowa Starting Line and Mediacom.

The forum connected the wide-ranging federal issues on debate stages to the local implementation and impacts mayors and voters see and feel directly in their communities. Mayors are on the front lines of serving voters, and the discussion with candidates focused on how federal policies will drive local economies in hometowns across America.

Ok I have NEVER seen this before! ⁦@PeteButtigieg⁩ actually invites protesters on stage as he reads their signs-one even saying that “you will kill us”! Pete’s response was PRICELESS!

NY TIMES - Buttigieg Jumps Out to Lead in Iowa Poll

“The results are the latest evidence of Mr. Buttigieg’s strength in Iowa, where his moderate political views, plain-spoken style and military history have resonated in the early voting state. Since September, when he placed fourth in the Register poll, he has more than doubled his on-the-ground staff to over 100 and has opened more than 20 field offices. He recently completed another bus tour in the state.”

WASHINGTON POST - Buttigieg surges ahead of his Democratic primary rivals in Iowa, new poll shows

POLITICO - Buttigieg busts out to first place in Iowa

“Mayor Pete is catching fire at the right moment that everyone hopes for in the Iowa caucuses,” said Bagniewski. “He has the team & ground game to back it up too. We may be looking at a two-person race between him and Sen. Warren until Feb.”

TWEETS

Tonight's @DMRegister poll doesn’t just show @PeteButtigieg leading by 9 points; the #s show a depth of support rooted in the fact that more Iowa voters say his views are “about right” than they do for any other candidate. Buttigieg also has lowest unfavorable rating. 1/4

— Joel Benenson (@benensonj) November 17, 2019

I must say @PeteButtigieg has been extremely impressive as a candidate so far. Smart, substantive & inspiring. Although he still has an uphill battle, it wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up winning the Democratic nomination. And if he’s our nominee, he’d mop the floor with Trump.

The New Republic - Pete Buttigieg's Undeniable Allure

I don’t post too many articles on this blog, but this one is a must read. A reporter who was on the bus with Pete in Iowa talks about his appeal to voters, compares him to Obama, and questions his experience only to realize maybe that’s not the post.

Excerpt:

“Four months before the Iowa caucuses, it is time to reckon with the reality that Buttigieg probably has a better chance to be the Democratic nominee than anyone aside from Biden and the surging Warren. With Sanders ailing and Kamala Harris sputtering, Buttigieg has enough money to go the distance (he has raised $44 million in the last six months) and enough polling support to guarantee his place on every debate stage. Whatever happens next, this youthful candidate with a long resume (Harvard, Rhodes Scholar, McKinsey analyst, failed statewide candidate, mayor, and intelligence officer in Afghanistan) has already emerged as the political surprise of 2019.”
