Senator is most common after that. Followed by cabinet member, but that hasn't been happening of late so the trend is moving away from that.

I don’t think mayor being “zero” is really a key point.
Trump, Eisenhower, Grant, and Taylor are the four with even less than mayoral experience, so the real key point is “people with the same or less experience than Buttgieg = four”
EDIT: forgot Grant
