BUTTE, MONTANA - MAY 17: Former U.S. Transportation Secretary and 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg speaks at a rally at The Mother Lode Theatre on May 17, 2026 in Butte, Montana. The rally is held in support of a proposed ballot initiative (I-194 ) that would exclude corporate money from Montana politics. Buttigieg's rally occurs as organizers in Montana aim to collect approximately 30,000 signatures for I-194 (also referred to as the "Montana Plan") before June 19; Buttigieg's visit represents the broader hope that people across the country will support initiatives like I-194 that work to make government and elected officials more beholden to constituents.
