Buttigieg dominates local caucus

   MONONA — South Bend, Ind. mayor Pete Buttigieg devoted much of his time in the leadup to last Monday’s Iowa Caucuses campaigning in the state. His efforts paid off with a narrow statewide victory and dominant victories in local precincts.

   Buttigieg received four of the Monona precinct’s seven delegates to the Clayton County Convention while Amy Kloubacher, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren received one delegate each.

            Seven of the 10 candidates had support in the first alignment of supporters, though only Butigieg, Sanders and Warren had the 11 supporters needed to be viable candidates, locking their supporters to their candidate. Kloubachar missed viability by one supporter while Joe Biden had five supporters, Tom Steyer two and Andrew Yang one.
