(AP) â Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto lost his bid for re-election Tuesday to Ed Gainey, a five-term state representative, as the city took a big step toward electing its first Black chief executive.
Peduto, a Democrat, had been seeking a third term against three primary challengers but instead called to congratulate Gainey, âWishing him wellâ in a tweet late Tuesday.
Gainey was all but assured a victory in November in the heavily Democratic city. He had consistently made the campaign about equality for Black and poor residents, and accused Peduto of failing to ensure equity in policing, housing and other areas. At one point, he called Pittsburgh âa tale of two cities.â
