Tara's husband is Michael Halle, who is a Buttigieg strategist. Coincidentally, Michael's brother, Ben Halle, is Pete's comm director for Iowa.
Another coincidence is that Buttigieg's current national organizing director, Greta Carnes, used to work for the ACRONYM SuperPac.
Pete Buttigieg's campaign paid $42,500 to Shadow Inc.
Despite now distancing themselves, in January 2019 Tara McGowan's ACRONYM acquired Groundbase, the company that developed the Shadow app and was founded by former Hillary Clinton campaign advisor Gerard Niemira who is now Shadow's CEO.
Besides Gerard Niemira, Shadow Inc. has no shortage of former Hillary for America campaign members...
In 2019, David Plouffe, one of the heads of Barack Obama's presidential campaign, joined the board of advisers for ACRONYM.
He says he's never heard of the Shadow app.

The company that made the Shadow app for the Iowa Caucus sure loves Pete Buttigieg. I'm sure it will have nothing to do with the election results...
