When the Travis County Democratic Party hosted their annual Johnson-Bentsen-Richards brunch not one, but two special guests were in attendance.
The event’s surprise keynote speaker was Pete Buttigieg, former US Secretary of Transportation. But that’s not all. Actor and Austin local Jared Padalecki was also there.
This isn’t the first time Padalecki has supported the Democratic Party. He notably supported Beto O’Rourke in his 2018 Texas Senate race. He and his wife, Gen Padalecki, also hosted a chat with Dr. Jill Biden, discussing the Joe Biden presidential campaign in 2020.
Selena Xie, current candidate for Austin City Council District 8, shared these pictures with both Buttigieg and Padalecki.
