Meet Chasten Buttigieg, the husband of Democratic presidential candidate 'Mayor Pete,' who is a high school teacher and dog dad
Chasten left his job as a junior high school teacher to campaign with his husband.
The couple have two rescue dogs they mention regularly on the campaign trail.
The first dogs of South Bend, Truman and Buddy, have their own Twitter account that Chasten runs.
And when Chasten tweeted at BuzzFeed News, asking it to write up a quiz about the first dogs, the media outlet followed through on his request.

Chasten is very online.
Chasten is probably best known for his Twitter presence, which is alternatively funny and heartfelt.

Your time in the closet and your journey to coming out belong to you. You are not required to open healed wounds or write lengthy threads in order to explain your worth to others who aren’t willing to see it themselves. You matter first.
