Incumbent Pittsburgh Mayor Loses Primary
By Bob Small
Ed Gainey, Pittsburgh’s incumbent mayor and the city’s first Afro-American mayor, lost in the May 20 Democrat Primary to Corey O’Conner.
O’Conner is expected to win in November. The last Republican to run the city was John S. Herron and his term ended in 1934.
O’Connor won with 55 percent of the vote and Gainey’s loss is considered a blow to progressives
O’Connor had a big advantage in mail-in ballots.
O’Conner, the son of a former mayor, poured sizable contributions, particularly from developers, into advertisements critical of Gainey’s performance. As for his vision “To me, it starts fresh. Tomorrow starts a whole new election in the fall, and we’re going to need everybody to take that message of growth and opportunity to our fall election”
Tony Moreno, a former police detective, is the Republican candidate.
Ed Gainey came into office on “a years-long progressive winning streak of elections in Western Pennsylvania.
Now it looks line “control of the city” returns to the “old establishment wing”.
O’Conner attacked Gainey on “frequent turnover” at the police department, which lost hundreds of officers.
Meanwhile, Gainey’s campaign boasted that he “hired the city’s first unarmed community service aides” to respond to non-violent situations.”
It should also be mentioned that “ O’Connor raised three times as much cash as Gainey ahead of the election, the Post-Gazette reported. “
“We campaigned on opportunity and growth for everybody in Pittsburgh,” O’Connor said. “And I even said it last night: we have to build a city where we’re believing in ourselves again,”
Pittsburgh has a population of 303,255 (2023) but the Pittsburgh region has a population of 2.45 million. Does that mean most people want to live outside the city?
Lastly, Pittsburgh has had championship teams in Major League baseball, the NFL, and the NHL.
However, Pittsburgh Pipers Team History their only professional basketball championship was in the old ABA.

Sanctuary Status Explained To Christine Reuther — Communications from elected officials to constituents aren’t private. Below is a note from Delaware County Councilwoman Christine Reuther to Tevin Dix of Haverford Township.
It concerns Delco being a sanctuary county.
Ms. Reuther claims “sanctuary county” is a matter of semantics.
“Nothing more than an opinion,” she says.
What pathetic dissembling garbage.
Granted, “sanctuary” can be broadly defined. All definitions, though, mean a state, county, or municipality that refuses to apply laws to those in the United States illegally.
We wrote in 2016 how Delaware County, Pa. was deemed a sanctuary by Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
CIS based their ruling on how Delco — then controlled by the GOP — was not complying with ICE detainers for jailed illegal aliens.
That’s a pretty strict definition, and it’s possible that Delco’s lack of cooperation had more to do with logistics and priorities rather than an attempt to undermine federal law.
But then came the accident in Haverford in April 2017 that left Sharon Devaney permanently crippled. The other driver — an illegal from Trinidad — was without a license, insurance, was speeding and tried to flee. Police at the scene were told to let her go. No arrest, no fines and no deportation.
If you did that what would be your fate?
When those already in violation of the law are given further license for things for which a citizen would be prosecuted, even a dim bulb like our council woman might get that seeds of anger are being planted.
And of course, Sharon is not the only story.
Mia Tiernan DeJohn of Springfield told County Council in December how an car driven by an illegal struck her vehicle with the driver escaping charges.
Kathy Buckley of Edgmont told County Council a year ago that State Police was being told to delay responses to burglaries if illegals were suspected.
Ms. Reuther and the rest of Council was shown, July 3, a video of illegals bathing in Darby Creek at Springfield’s Rolling Green Park. This would obviously be a violation of Delco’s health and pollution policies.
What was Christine’s response? She said it was not a county park.
LOL
That Christine, is what a sanctuary county is.
By the way, Springfield banned the bathing and stationed police to enforce it. There was no help from the County.
