Kramer Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 South Bend Mayor Pete ButtigiegOpens a New Window., known by his community simply as "Mayor Pete," is competing against a crowded field of Democrats to become the party's 2020 presidential nominee.

If elected, he would become the first openly gay president and youngest-ever person to become president. Buttigieg's campaign raised more than $7 million in the first quarter of 2019. That number pales in comparison to Democratic frontrunners former Vice President Joe Biden, who raised $6.3 millionOpens a New Window. in the first 24 hours and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who reported $5.9 million within the first day of his 2020 launch.

He recently told CNBCOpens a New Window. he considers himself middle class. “Everybody’s talking about the middle of the country like it’s some mysterious place and I think it might make sense to have somebody in the mix who actually lives here,” Buttigieg said. “I actually live in a middle-class lifestyle, in a middle-class neighborhood, in the American Midwest.” But he's still far behind his Democratic rivals in terms of wealth. In April, Sanders, too, released 10 years worth of returnsOpens a New Window., which showed his adjusted gross income in 2017 was $1,131,925 — mainly thanks to royalties from his book "Where We Go From Here."
