Buttigieg plans big-donor summit in Iowa
PoliticoPete Buttigieg's senior staff is huddling with donors and activists for a series of strategy events in Iowa over the weekend, according to a schedule obtained by POLITICO.
Before Buttigiegs attendance at Saturday's Polk County Steak Fry, an Iowa political tradition, and the all-candidate forum, the campaign scheduled a private evening dinner with donors on Friday night. The Buttigieg campaign will then invite donors to a working dinner and strategy session with senior staff on Saturday at a hotel in downtown Des Moines.
"You will hear about our path to victory in the early states, interact with other members of the Investors Circle, and strategize how to further strengthen our fundraising operations before the end of the quarter," reads the emailed invitation to donors, which is signed by Anthony Mercurio, the Buttigieg campaign's national investment director.
A person familiar with the retreat expected two to three dozen donors will attend.

Interestingly, his campaign has never asked me for money, even though I have Pete's private email address and he has mine.
