Traveling the Trail for Pete (eBook, ePUB)

Finding Belonging in a Political Campaign

Beschreibung

How does a social butterfly support a presidential primary candidate, especially one as inspiring as Pete Buttigieg? By flying around and being social, of course! Follow gregarious Sue Ann as she dives into the Pete 2020 campaign, first at the state level with Minnesota for Pete, and then as she travels to interview grassroots volunteers-all people she's met on Twitter-for her podcast, Twitter Travels for Pete. Along the way, she attends rallies and town hall events where she catches moments with the extraordinary candidate himself. She joins the scores of committed volunteers as they phone-bank and door-knock for Pete, following the course of the campaign to its untimely close. From Mayor Pete's hometown of South Bend, Indiana to Iowa to New Hampshire and many places in between, Sue Ann meets staffers and supporters who share Pete's values and vision for a better America. In doing so, she finds a true community in Team Pete, one that endures beyond the campaign.

Traveling the Trail for Pete: Finding Belonging in a Political Campaign is a memoir about how the author found her own unique way to contribute to the Pete Buttigieg presidential primary campaign-through her own podcast, Twitter Travels for Pete.

Autor

Sue Ann Rawlins loves meeting new people. As an Adult Education ESL teacher, she's met hundreds of students from all over the world. With social energy to spare, she's also met many people online and formed friendships, often traveling to meet them in person. Until the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, this hobby did not include meeting people working on a political campaign. But when she heard Mayor Pete Buttigieg speak about immigration issues from a community perspective-something near and dear to her heart-she was sold. She decided to do all she could to help this remarkable, once-in-a-generation candidate win the nomination. After getting her feet wet with the Minnesota for Pete group, Sue Ann branched out and traveled around interviewing grassroots volunteers she'd met on Twitter for her podcast Twitter Travels for Pete. Being a podcast host was so fun she continued doing episodes even after the campaign ended, first with a series on Pete's Rules of the Road and then a series on transportation issues once Pete became Secretary of Transportation. All twenty-eight episodes of the Twitter Travels for Pete podcast are still live and can be found on various platforms with this link https://linktr.ee/TwitterTravelsforPete. Sue Ann continues to support the issues advocated by Pete in the campaign through the Win the Era Action Fund. She has a home with the Team Pete community, especially on Twitter, and still travels to meet those kindred spirits in person. Sue Ann lives in Minneapolis with her husband, adult son, and dog Jojo.
