The backing of Buttigieg by the seven-term congressman follows the endorsement this month of Joe Biden by another Iowa U.S. lawmaker, freshman congresswoman Abby Finkenauer. The third Democratic member of Iowa’s House delegation, Cindy Axne, has not yet endorsed a presidential candidate. “I’m proud to announce that I’m endorsing Pete Buttigieg to be the next president of the United States,” Loebsack said in a statement. “Pete offers a new kind of leadership that we desperately need. He’s a Midwestern mayor, a veteran, and is from a new generation.”Buttigieg, who turns 38 next week, was until this month the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and spent seven months in Afghanistan with the U.S. Navy Reserves.
