US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg – who campaigned for president under the moniker “Mayor Pete”, indicating his experience as a small-town mayor in Indiana – has relocated to Michigan, Politico’s West Wing Playbook reported.
Mr Buttigieg served as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, where he was born and raised, from 2012 to 2020. A spokesman for the Department of Transportation said the move to Traverse City, Michigan, is meant to help raise his and his husband Chasten’s two children, whom they adopted last year.
