Harris campaign: ICYMI: Pete and Chasten Buttigieg launch canvass for VP Harris and Wisconsin dems in Madison ahead of DNC
On Sunday, ahead of the Democratic National Convention, the Honorable Pete Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten Buttigieg, campaigned with Senator Tammy Baldwin for Vice President Harris, Governor Walz, and Democrats up and down the ballot at a canvass launch in Madison. They spoke to a Democratic coordinated campaign office packed with more than 100 volunteers ready to knock doors for the entire ticket on the stark contrast between Harris and Walz’s unifying vision to protect abortion access and fight for the middle class against Donald Trump’s extreme Project 2025 agenda.

On the airwaves:
“Former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg was in Madison this weekend where he was campaigning for [Vice President Kamala] Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Buttigieg attempting to draw contrast between former president Donald Trump and the Vice President on the issues of abortion and their visions for working class families.”
Hon. Pete Buttigieg: “I feel like we’re not so much saving a democracy as we are building one. We’re building it together. And that’s what you’re doing every time you knock on a door.”
Hon. Pete Buttigieg: “You don’t have to be a lifetime Democrat to understand that if you care about law and order, you might want to elect somebody who understands that the rule of law is for protecting the vulnerable, and not for trampling [it] anytime you think it’s convenient for you. Maybe you should go ahead and vote for the prosecutor and not the felon.”
Hon. Pete Buttigieg: “We have a chance to call people to join us, to invite people to be at our side as we participate in this incredible democracy. I love that you think of democracy as action because it’s true. And that’s really what we’re part of.”
Hon. Pete Buttigieg: “I think part of what it comes down to is a message that will reach people where they are. Because whether you live here in Wisconsin or in Nevada or anywhere in between, most Americans strongly agree with Vice President Harris on protecting a woman’s right to choose, on making sure the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes, on common-sense gun safety legislation.”
