Once in office, we have a front-row seat as Buttigieg's team tackles South Bend's revitalization with initiatives like erasing the eyesore of 1,000 vacant houses in 1,000 days, teaming with Notre Dame students in the Smart Sewer project, or installing the River Lights artistic lighting feature at the Jefferson Boulevard Bridge. One of my favorite parts of the book was Pete's morning run, where we get a guided tour of South Bend's past and present.
More importantly, this is a book about what could be the future of politics in this country--thoughtful, unifying, fact-based, forward-thinking, inclusive. Opening this book at the end of the day was a welcome reprieve from the constant barrage of vitriol coming out of Washington. I look forward to following Mr. Buttigieg's political career which I'm predicting, sadly for South Bend, will involve a move East one day. At least we can hope that the political pendulum will swing back in this direction again!
