(January 22, 2025) The Pete du Pont Freedom Foundation (PDFF) proudly honors the birthday of Governor Pete du Pont, a visionary leader whose extraordinary legacy is defined by his unwavering commitment to innovation, opportunity, and prosperity. As governor, legislator, and commentator, Pete du Pont believed in empowering individuals and businesses by championing fairer taxes, smarter government spending, and education reform.

In celebration of his life and achievements, PDFF is thrilled to announce Pete’s 100, a new initiative recognizing exceptional individuals whose contributions are shaping the private sector. Pete’s 100 is inspired by Governor du Pont’s 1972 congressional campaign and its memorable “Pete’s 3000” bumper stickers, which sparked conversations and embodied hope for progress.
