A crowd of more than 100 gathered to listen to Chasten Buttigieg speak at IU on Dec. 6.

Some Indiana University students, faculty and staff members got the opportunity to meet Chasten Buttigieg in Bloomington Friday.

The College Democrats at IU organized the event. President Alessia Modjarrad said the event, which was closed to the press, also featured a couple of speakers from presidential candidate and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s campaign. More than 100 people attended.

Buttigieg has been gaining ground, but most polling has him fourth in the Democratic primary race behind former Vice President Joe Biden and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

The next Democratic primary debate is scheduled for Dec. 19 in Los Angeles.
