People Want New Leadership : Bill Peduto Reflects On 8 Years In Office, And The Election That Ended It

AP Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto made history last week – but not in the way he hoped. Instead of winning a third term as mayor, Peduto lost handily a Democratic primary race against state Rep. Ed Gainey, who is poised to become the city’s first Black mayor, and whose campaign argued that Peduto had moved too slowly on issues like blight and racial inequity. Peduto’s defeat – the first of an incumbent mayor since 1933 – brought his mayoral career full circle. His election-night event was held in the same South Side union hall used by former state Auditor General Jack Wagner when Peduto bested him to win the office eight years before. And the mood was much the same both times: Even as the count was just getting underway, it was clear the party was somewhere else.

When the commissioners finally appeared before an online audience, they rolled through a series of votes on issues that included a half-million dollars in purchases, a six-figure contract, and the staffing matter.
