## Resource

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg made a surprise trip to New Mexico, stopping in El Paso for dinner at Carlos and Mickey’s before rallying in Las Cruces to support Democratic candidates like Deb Haaland and Gabe Vasquez. Dined with State Senator Cesar Blanco — who shared the moment online — Buttigieg also tapped into personal roots, as his parents met in Las Cruces while teaching at NMSU. The visit comes amid growing speculation he may run for president again in 2028, after hinting at it on a podcast last August. With political visibility and personal ties fueling his presence, Buttigieg is staying active while keeping options open.
