Pete Buttigieg, born in Indiana in 1982, is currently serving his second term as mayor of South Bend. A dynamic national lecturer and TEDx speaker, as well as a Rhodes Scholar and Navy veteran, Buttigieg was educated at Harvard and Oxford. He and his husband, Chasten Glezman, live in South Bend, Indiana.
A mayor’s inspirational story of a Midwest city that has become nothing less than a blueprint for the future of American renewal.
Once described by the Washington Post as “the most interesting mayor you’ve never heard of,” Pete Buttigieg, the thirty-six-year-old Democratic mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has improbably emerged as one of the nation’s most visionary politicians. First elected in 2011, Buttigieg left a successful business career to move back to his hometown, previously tagged by Newsweek as a “dying city,” because the industrial Midwest beckoned as a challenge to the McKinsey-trained Harvard graduate. Whether meeting with city residents on middle-school basketball courts, reclaiming abandoned houses, confronting gun violence, or attracting high-tech industry, Buttigieg has transformed South Bend into a shining model of urban reinvention.
While Washington reels with scandal, Shortest Way Home interweaves two once-unthinkable success stories: that of an Afghanistan veteran who came out and found love and acceptance, all while in office, and that of a Rust Belt city so thoroughly transformed that it shatters the way we view America’s so-called flyover country.

memoir of a presidential candidate after all. "Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way around is the shortest way home."
評分小皮市長年紀輕輕已經稱得上經曆豐富履曆閃亮瞭 最受觸動的一處是他寫到跳齣谘詢坑 When you are connected to an institution with that strong a name, people use it as a shortcut for understanding who you are. And if you're not careful, you use it as a shortcut, too, taking on the shape of that name yourself over time. 人不能夠滿足於學曆與職場的品牌光環 一路這麼優秀的人還能有這樣的認知 值得共勉 從日常市政到黨內綱領都有發展嚮前的眼界 希望他未來更有作為吧!
評分三好學生皮特布特這之
評分快速翻完覺得他太實誠瞭 哈佛的遊行學生是"social warrior" 在遇到現在的丈夫之前從來沒有"fall in love" dorothy覺得他很假 其實要在cambridge呆過確實很能體會他說的Harvard T就是世界上最worldly的地方的感覺也 沒有太多政策相關的內容 not very presidential, yet
評分Pete 2020!
