At the debate among the candidates for the head of the Democratic National Committee, one candidate that emerged as a potential leading contender was the Mayor of South Bend Indiana, Peter Buttigieg. Endorsed by former DNC chair and Governor Howard Dean, Mayor Buttigieg spoke of the need for a 50 state strategy that champions the ideas and values that contrast with the current administration. While acknowledging that we should show where we oppose the Trump Presidency, we need to reaffirm to the majority of the country that voted against the President and to those that switched to support him, what ideas and policies Democrats would promote at the local, state, and federal levels. People voting to choose the next DNC chair may want to give Mayor Buttigieg a second look. He appears to have the right message for the right time.
