In April 2007, McCloskey switched his affiliation to the Democratic Party. He is a decorated United States Marine Corps veteran of combat during the Korean War, being awarded the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, and two awards of the Purple Heart. He published a book called Truth and Untruth: Political Deceit in America in 1972. One of McCloskey's enduring legacies is his co-authorship of the 1973 Endangered Species Act. Paul Norton "Pete" McCloskey Jr. on yhdysvaltalainen poliitikko. Hän istui liittovaltion edustajainhuoneen jäsenenä Kalifornian 11. vaalipiiristä 1967–1983 ja oli vuonna 1972 presidenttiehdokkaana. McCloskey eteni pitkälle urallaan lakimiehenä. Hän palveli merijalkaväessä Korean sodassa; Vietnamin sotaa hän alkoi kuitenkin vastustaa. Hän vastusti myöhemmin myös Irakin sotaa. Hän yritti uudelleen kongressiin vuonna 2006. Republikaaneihin vuodesta 1948 kuulunut McCloskey siirtyi demokraatteihin vuonna 2007.
