The Cabinet: Mayor Pete
Mayor Pete Buttigieg was chosen by Joe Biden to be the Secretary of Transportation. I think he's a great choice - such a bright and thoughtful person. He will be the first openly gay man to be a presidential cabinet member - yay :) What a contrast Biden's presidency will be to a Republican presidency, where religious bigotry would never allow someone like Mayor Pete to be a "normal" person along with all the rest of us, much less to serve in a presidential administration.

Yes, very good choice! I was reading at one point that Biden might make him ambassador to China. He would have been good at that too. But I think this position will make better use of his talents. I would like to see him as a presidential candidate someday (I mean one that actually got the nomination!) But this wasn't the right year for that.
He's still young and it would probably be good for him to get more experience - maybe leter he'll be more electable.
