Aimee Rivera Cole, Democratic candidate for the Indiana House of Representatives in District 37, welcomed the endorsement of Pete Buttigieg, former Mayor of South Bend, and 2020 candidate for the Democratic nomination for President through the support from Win the Era PAC.
“Pete Buttigieg has inspired countless Americans across the nation and put on display the values and virtues of Hoosier families,” Cole said. “I am honored to receive this endorsement and work together so Indiana can be a state that leads the way forward.”
Following two terms as Mayor of South Bend, Pete Buttigieg made history by becoming the firstly openly LGBTQ+ candidate to win a presidential primary or caucus with his victory in the Iowa caucuses. Shortly after suspending his presidential campaign, Buttigieg launched Win the Era PAC with a focus on down-ballot races.
Highlighting from the PAC website, “Win the Era supports candidates who are lifting up the issues facing this and subsequent generations; who are committed to building a sense of belonging in our country; who are running pioneering campaigns; who are proposing and supporting meaningful, bold policies; and who model the values and spirit of our campaign.”
In addition to Buttigieg’s support, Cole has been endorsed by Dr. Jennifer McCormick, Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction; John Gregg, former Speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives and former President of Vincennes University; Janet Pritchett, Hamilton Southeastern school board vice president; Julie Chambers, Hamilton Southeastern school board secretary; Fishers’ Democratic City Councilors Jocelyn Vare (At Large) and Samantha DeLong (North-Central); and Indianapolis City-County Councilor for District 5 Ali Brown.
