Paul for Pete: Politics. Theatre. Life. One Man’s Adventures (or, How I Became a Septuagenarian Fanboy) recounts the 14 inspiring, life-changing months I spent as a volunteer for Pete Buttigieg’s campaign for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination, first as a successful grassroots fundraiser and digital investment captain; ultimately as a member of Pete’s Arts Policy Advisory Committee.
There are sidebars and detours galore, including my travels as a professional theatre director, which made it possible to keep up with Pete: in South Bend, for his declaration of candidacy; at rallies in Reno; for dinner in Chicago; and on Zoom calls throughout the campaign.
Paul for Pete captures, along with the various off-ramps and cloverleafs of a well-traveled, adventerous life, my pilgrimage out of darkness and despair into daylight and hope.

Thanks to many generous friends, I reached fundraising goals to take PAUL FOR PETE around the country - including this stop in New York City. No surprise: expenses are unpredictable and have a way of mounting. Every little bit helps! The fund is still open; additional contributions are welcome and deeply appreciated: http://spot.fund/PaulforPete
