A year ago today, I saw the New York Times article announcing Pete’s presidential exploratory committee. I was one of the few (outside of South Bend) who knew his name. You see, he had captured my attention a year earlier. nytimes.com/2019/01/23/us/… Actually, even earlier. I voted for him for treasurer in 2010. The current treasurer, Richard Mourdock (google him… yikes) was aggressively attacking the auto industry bailout, which I found shockingly unacceptable in a state so dependent on those union jobs. Pete lost.
