After a viral video showed Buttigieg telling an activist 'no' when asked to reveal donors—and criticism from Elizabeth Warren—the South Bend Mayor announced he'll now be more transparent about big-money contributions.
South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg has changed his stance on revealing the identities of big-money donors to his 2020 presidential campaign after criticism.
The decision comes after a one-two punch of flak over Buttigieg's fundraising techniques. This weekend, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and fellow Democratic candidate for president, told reporters that closed-door fundraising events caused"conflicts being created every single day when candidates for president sell access to their time to the highest bidder."
"I think that Mayor Pete should open up the doors so that anyone can come in and report on what's being said," Warren said."Those doors shouldn't be closed, and no one should be left to wonder what kind of promises are being made to the people that then pony up big bucks to be in the room." On Sunday, Jordan Uhl, the campaign director for Media Matters for America, posted a video on Twitter of Buttigieg answering an activist's question about fundraising at an event this weekend.a kid asked pete if he will help take big money out of politics and stop having closed-door fundraisers with billionaires
