Finding Belonging in a Political Campaign

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.
