Pete Buttigieg ramping up NC campaign — and coming to Charlotte later in February
Fresh off his second-place finish in New Hampshire, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is ramping up his North Carolina campaign ahead of the state’s March 3 primary — and planning a visit to Charlotte.
Buttigieg is scheduled to hold a Charlotte town hall on the afternoon of Feb. 27.
It will be Buttigieg’s first appearance in Charlotte and second in North Carolina.
“We are building the campaign that will not only win this nomination but will defeat Donald Trump in November,” said Samantha Steelman, organizer for Super Tuesday states.
Buttigieg was fifth in North Carolina with 9% support, according to the latest Public Policy Polling survey.
His campaign plans to add staffers in North Carolina and other Super Tuesday states.
That includes groups like Students for Pete which has chapters at Appalachian State, Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. State University and other N.C. colleges.
