SOUTH BEND, Ind.---It’s a big day in South Bend! Mayor Pete will make his big announcement today concerning his presidential campaign in the Studebaker 84 building.

Mayor Pete has been on the rise since he started his exploratory campaign and the reason is, because some people said they watched what the mayor was saying and doing as he campaigned from city to city and they grew to like his message.

People traveled from all over to attend Pete’s announcement. One man said he came from Washington D.C. to witness what will unfold at today’s event.

“He looks for improving the lives of everybody, not just some,” said Gabriel Martinez. I think the way he does it is in a way that he looks in the future not in the past.”
