Pete Buttigieg's senior staff is huddling with donors and activists for a series of strategy events in Iowa over the weekend
Pete Buttigieg's senior staff is huddling with donors and activists for a series of strategy events in Iowa over the weekend, according to a schedule obtained by POLITICO.
Timed to coincide with Buttigieg’s attendance at Saturday's Polk County Steak Fry, an Iowa political tradition, the campaign scheduled a private evening dinner with donors on Friday night, before the all-candidate forum the next day. The Buttigieg campaign will then invite donors to a “working dinner and strategy session” with senior staff on Saturday evening at a hotel in downtown Des Moines.
While Buttigieg's donors and staff gather Saturday night, the South Bend, Ind., mayor will kick off his own version of the "Straight-Talk Express," a four-day bus tour with the media joining Buttigieg for the entire time. Buttigieg raised nearly $25 million last quarter, an enormous haul that vaulted him into the upper tier of contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination. In recent weeks, his campaign has focused on rapidly building out its on-the-ground infrastructure in the early states. Buttigieg, who has hovered in the mid-single digits in national polling, has opened more than 30 field offices across Iowa and New Hampshire this month.
