Drawing on his experience as both a mayor and a Cabinet member, Buttigieg underscores that America’s “salvation will come from the local,” where everyday leaders are solving problems and standing up for their constituents. He urges mayors and local officials to strike a balance between silence and partisanship — to take principled stands rooted in their responsibility to serve. Citing examples from cities like Denver and San Francisco, he highlights how innovative local leadership is driving reductions in homelessness and violent crime. Buttigieg contrasts these results-driven approaches with political grandstanding at the national level, reminding us that effective governance starts close to home.
