Pete Buttigieg Moves Residence to Michigan

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has moved his residency from Indiana to Michigan and plans to register to vote there, the Detroit News reports.

Buttigieg had purchased a home in northern Michigan with his husband, Chasten, who grew up in Traverse City.

Politico: “But the move also has another significant benefit. With two Democratic senators and a Democratic governor, Michigan is a much more hospitable state for a fellow Democrat with political ambitions. It’s also in the running to replace Iowa as the first presidential nominating contest.”
