Pete Buttigieg has tapped into the New York fundraising scene better than any other 2020 Democratic candidate — and he’ll be back this Labor Day weekend to rake in more big bucks.
The South Bend, Indiana, mayor already brought in $3.7 million from New York state — including $2.9 million just from New York City, according to donor data provided by the Center for Public Integrity and analyzed by The Post.
He bests all other Democratic White House hopefuls in the Big Apple — by a landslide — including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who raised $885,000 in New York with $658,000 coming from NYC; New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who brought in $2.3 million statewide with $1.6 million from NYC residents before dropping out Wednesday; and former Vice President Joe Biden ($2.5 million/$1.6 million from NYC), who has the powerful endorsement of New York’s well-connected Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Buttigieg took on Gotham thanks to early strong support from the LGBTQ community, high-profile media appearances, staff with NYC ties and enthusiasm in the acting world.
He’s already had more than 15 events in New York, ranging from a high-dollar fundraiser hosted by Broadway executive Jordan Roth and his husband Richie Jackson April 18 in the West Village to a $25 grassroots event at Brooklyn Bowl on April 15.
“The early core has been the LGBTQ community,” said former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, president of the Victory Fund, a LGBTQ bundling group that endorsed Buttigieg at a Brooklyn event earlier this year. “I think we were a very key constituency in allowing him to get early traction.”

This is why he “is running for president.” He is on an ego trip, and wants to rake in the money. He has no more chance to be president than alfred e newman.
I think most of them come from money to begin with. Being heterosexual is a basic instinct of Man. Having wealth and being free of the burden of survival and procreation from the start, I believe there’s a connection there.
Being from wealth grants them opportunities for higher education as well, so many of them seem to get good paying careers, and also tons of government jobs, we all know that.
“Buttplug has no chance whatsoever.He will never get the black vote.
Butt he will be very very rich in the end.
NY must have lots of Queers???
Butt-edge-edge raking it in from the perversity crowd.
Fags and their money are soon parted. ;-)
Of course faggies have lots of money. No one to spend it on but themselves.
I saw what you did there.
