'This is very personal for us. We’ve got two 9-month-old children.'
As the best-known gay dad on Capitol Hill, the Secretary of Transportation often lends unique insights into parenting, and it was no different this week when, in an interview onon Sunday, Buttigieg shared how the formula shortage is affecting his own household.
It’s not only refreshing to see politicians opening up about how their own lives are affected by the shortages — it’s also important for the public to understand the range of families who rely on formula for their infants: queer families, families with allergies, and honestly just families who made a personal choice for themselves regarding what they feed their babies.
When Brennan pressed the Secretary of Transportation as to why the Biden administration didn’t take action earlier to prevent a crisis that was building for months, Buttigieg responded by saying that the administration had taken action “from day one,” by “taking steps like creating more flexibility for the WIC program to help rebalance the availability of formula.”
“Fundamentally, we are here because a company was not able to guarantee that its plant was safe,” he said. While the government is trying to increase production elsewhere, getting Abbott’s Sturgis, Michigan plant back up and running is the solution. “At the end of the day, this plant needs to come back online safely,” said Buttigieg.
