Chynoweth, Who Previously Endorsed Kamala Harris, Introduced Buttigieg in Manchester Earlier This Week

Manchester, N.H. — As Pete makes his 15th trip to New Hampshire, Democratic activist, business leader, and former Executive Council candidate Gray Chynoweth announced his endorsement of Pete Buttigieg for President, saying Buttigieg’s own military service had inspired him to join the Navy to become an Intelligence Officer.

Chynoweth will introduce Pete during his Manchester town hall today. He had previously endorsed Kamala Harris.

“A house divided cannot stand. We need a leader who will bring our country together so that we may once again be a light in the world,” said Chynoweth. “I can think of no better person to pick up the mantle of leadership and the spirit of public service that John F. Kennedy embodied than Pete Buttigieg. That sense of service has long directed Pete’s actions – from stepping forward, like Kennedy, to serve our country in the Navy, to stepping up to serve his community as Mayor of South Bend. And that sense of service has animated his campaign, which has brought together people from every political persuasion and background because they are inspired by Pete and what he represents – a new politics that is rallying Americans together behind bold ideas that will allow us to finally solve our greatest problems. Inspired by his example, earlier this year, I joined the US Navy Reserves as an Intelligence Officer, and now I’m proud to be a part of his campaign.”

Chynoweth was the Democratic nominee for Executive Council District 4 in 2018, and was the founder and co-chair of two nonprofits: Stay, Work, Play and the Manchester Young Professional Network.

The Chair of the Carroll County Democrats, Knute Ogren, announced his support of Pete Buttigieg for President of the United States, citing his ability to mobilize Carroll County and win over rural New Hampshire.

“Pete Buttigieg is a wonderful gift to our country, and I’m proud to support him for President,” said Ogren. “As a person of faith, I appreciate how Pete speaks intelligently and authentically about faith in a way that drives all of us, regardless of our personal faith or lack of faith, to rebuild our community — a rare thing in today’s politics. With our nation so divided, he inspires us to serve and to be compassionate to one another — something our country desperately needs. And as a mayor and a veteran, he has embodied a humble life of service, and we can all learn from his example.”

Ogren’s endorsement comes immediately after Pete’s 15th visit to New Hampshire, where he drew nearly 5,600 people to his events across the Granite State during his four-day trip. During his visit, Pete emphasized the positive impacts of his policies on small towns and rural areas at stops in Claremont, Conway, Wolfeboro, and Franklin, including a bold plan to address the urgent health disparities between urban and rural communities as well as an ambitious policy to significantly grow and empower rural communities economically. His plans will ensure access to maternal and mental health services in rural areas, expand broadband access, invest in education, and empower rural communities to lead the way on solving climate disruption.
