Since Buttigieg announced his candidacy, his husband has taken a leave from teaching to devote himself to being a supportive campaign partner. He travels with "Mayor Pete," as his husband is known, when he can, and promotes Buttigieg's message on the trail and via his frequent social media posts.
Chasten Glezman Buttigieg told CNN's Kate Bolduan he was excited for his husband's foray into the national political arena.
"I'm really excited for the country to get to know (Pete) on a much larger scale because he's such a breath of fresh air," he said.
He also told Bolduan that he tends to call Pete by his full name, Peter, unless he's in trouble.
"(He's) mostly Peter to me, depends on the situation we're in. Peter Paul if he hasn't done the dishes."
