The promise of Pete Buttigieg

Beto O’Rourke and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, who have committed not to take federal lobbyist donations.

As more progression, the team of Pete Buttigieg has guaranteed not to receive money from the lobbyists which are registered. They also said that they will not give permission to any lobbyists to fundraise for any of ongoing campaign.

The campaigns will now add other languages as well to discuss things about donating and lobbying.

Moreover, they said that they will introduce more self-imposed quality.
