Biography
Chasten James Glezman Buttigieg (born June 23, 1989) is an American teacher, author, and LGBT+ activist. He is married to Pete Buttigieg, the former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, and was an advisor, spokesperson, and social media campaigner during his husband’s 2020 presidential campaign. In September 2020, Buttigieg released a memoir titled I Have Something to Tell You.
After graduating from college, Buttigieg moved to Milwaukee, where he worked as a teaching artist for First Stage Children’s Theater as well as in classroom settings in the greater Milwaukee area.
While pursuing his graduate degree, he was a substitute teacher in both Chicago and South Bend public schools. In fall 2017, Buttigieg began as a junior high humanities teacher at the Montessori Academy in Mishawaka, Indiana. He also taught theater and ran a diversity club. He took a leave of absence to support his husband’s campaign. In January 2019, Buttigieg joined the Civic Education Team of the South Bend Civic Theatre as the Director of Curriculum.
In 2016, Buttigieg was a State Democratic Delegate for St. Joseph County. He was the first gentleman of South Bend, Indiana, from June 16, 2018, to January 1, 2020.
Buttigieg was a campaign spokesperson, advisor, and social media campaigner for his husband Pete Buttigieg’s campaign. If his husband had been elected, Chasten identified improving the nation’s public schools, arts education, and mental health as the areas he would have directed his attention towards as First Gentleman. He also supports LGBTQ rights.
After his husband’s withdrawal from the race, both endorsed Joe Biden and campaigned for him. Since the campaign, Buttigieg now considers Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff close friends.
Buttigieg was a Harvard Institute of Politics Fellow for the fall 2020 virtual semester. On September 1, 2020, Buttigieg released his debut memoir, I Have Something to Tell You. The hardcover edition debuted at number 12 on The New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover non-fiction. In December 2020, Buttigieg criticized Joseph Epstein’s op-ed about Jill Biden’s academic credentials, calling it sexist.
