Sue Ann Rawlins met many supporters and campaign staffers on the trail during the Pete Buttigieg 2020 presidential primary campaign, and what ensued was a podcast full of grassroots interviews that go well beyond the campaign itself. The original series of episodes focuses on Pete’s primary campaign, and post-campaign, a Rules of the Road edition of episodes celebrate Pete’s legacy. Then with Pete as Secretary of Transportation, a series devoted to transportation issues follows. The Next Steps series involves interviews with former staffers on what’s next for them and for us. How can we help elect more Democrats? Sue Ann Rawlins is the author of Traveling the Trail for Pete – Finding Belonging in a Political Campaign. Travelingthetrailforpete.com

In this first episode, we explore the grassroots efforts of the Minnesota for Pete group - from coffee meet-ups to a booth at the Minnesota State Fair to helping our neighbors in Iowa. More and more new people are finding our group and the schedule of local events is growing. Throughout it all, the same questions are asked: "Why Pete? What do you like about Pete?" It all becomes apparent that Pete Buttigieg really sells himself. We just need to help spread the word.
