Tuesday Morning Man: Pete Buttigieg!

Wishing a happy 39th birthday to Pete Buttigieg who is expected to be confirmed by the US Senate as the new United States Secretary of Transportation. This will be historic as it will make him the first out gay cabinet member to be Senate-confirmed.

His hearing begins Thursday, the day after President-Elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.

The cabinet position will put the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, in charge of the department’s $72 billion budget and 58,000-strong workforce.

Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard College and Oxford University, attending the latter on a Rhodes Scholarship. From 2009 to 2017, he was an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant. He was mobilized and deployed to the War in Afghanistan for seven months in 2014.

He came out publicly in 2015 and three years later married Chasten Glezman, a schoolteacher, writer, and LGBTQ rights advocate.
