PITTSBURGH—Pittsburgh’s mayoral election this week will have a historic outcome no matter who wins.
State Rep. Edward Gainey is the favorite to become the city’s first African American mayor in this traditionally Democratic city. However, a victory by his rival, Tony Moreno, would give the city its first Mexican/Native American mayor, as well as the first Republican in City Hall in generations; he’s running as a Republican after he failed to win the primary as a Democrat.
