Secretary Pete Buttigieg to Headline 2026 Eleanor Roosevelt Dinner
 

Today, the New Hampshire Democratic Party announced that former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg will be the keynote speaker at the 2026 Eleanor Roosevelt Dinner, one of the NHDP’s biggest fundraisers of the year. Secretary Buttigieg’s leadership has inspired millions of Americans to continue to stand up for Democratic values. 

“We are thrilled to have Secretary Pete Buttigieg back in New Hampshire for the 2026 Eleanor Roosevelt Dinner,” said NHDP Chair Ray Buckley. “Secretary Buttigieg knows firsthand that in New Hampshire, building a winning coalition means showing up and earning every vote. This November, New Hampshire Democrats have critical races up and down the ballot, and the stakes couldn’t be higher – from protecting our Democratic federal delegation to flipping the State House blue. He continues to be a strong voice for building a stronger Democratic Party by investing in leaders at every level, and we’re thrilled to have him back in New Hampshire as we work to win up and down the ballot.”

“We have a real opportunity to come together and build a coalition that can win, govern, and deliver a better everyday life for Americans,” said Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “I’m excited to be back in the Granite State to help New Hampshire Democrats elect leaders up and down the ballot who will deliver for families and communities across New Hampshire.”

The Eleanor Roosevelt Dinner is one of New Hampshire’s premier political events. For decades, prominent voices within the Democratic Party have come to the Granite State to celebrate the hard work of Democrats. The 2026 Eleanor Roosevelt Dinner will take place on Saturday, October 3rd, in Concord, NH. Tickets are available for purchase here.
