‘Old guard’ Dem beats incumbent progressive in Pittsburgh mayor primary

On Tuesday, the mayor of Pittsburgh Ed Jenny was prolonged in a cruel democratic challenge from Korean O’Connor, the former city leader of the city who won the support of the “old guard” of the party and some Republicans.

Mayor Ed Jenny, who is seen as progress in the race, began the competition almost equally with regard to the financing of campaigns, but Okunor, former son of the mayor Bob Okonor, had surpassed the job operator by April – ultimately, was not eventually in a city that was not competitive at the partial level since 1930.

Okonor received support from some Republican donors, as well as the democratic “Old Guard” base, according to the New York Times.

“These are elections about Pittsburg, on how to restore our city on the right track. It is funny to present arguments about progressive/non -progressive. The external groups that intervene, I guarantee you – did not look at the records of any of us,” Oconor told the newspaper.

The Occon campaign also showed support for the police resources and its own plan to stimulate the downtown area. He has also received great external contributions from groups such as the logical action that changes and the victory of democracy, according to post -newspaper.

Jenny took office as the first black mayor in Stel City after the defeat of the current mayor Bill Boydoo in 2021. He threw himself on the national stage as a critic of President Donald Trump and his agenda, while he was also working to attract new works to Pittsburgh – including a 2026 NFL draft, which is estimated to bring 200 million economies to the area, according to one of them, according to some campaigns.

Guinee also pledged not to cooperate with federal ice operations, and he described the Trump budget a “direct attack on working families” and the economy of West Pennsylvania.

“Ice will not finish the status of a failed immigration policy. What you will do is to create more situations that people feel afraid, as people do not feel safe,” said Jenny in January.

“Jenny needs to follow the law and lead some other Democratic mayors who work to maintain the integrity of our cities,” said Mc Corcism, according to WTAE.

Jenny’s campaign has highlighted the mayor’s efforts to increase police and mental health professionals to help the police respond, while Okonor also claims the cloak of the pro -police candidate.

During the reign of Jaini, the city ranks first in the state’s population growth and increased its affordable housing by 1,600 units.

Working with the governor of Democratic Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, Jenny received $ 600 million to revive the city center and improves in the city’s famous Point Park.

“Thanks to our movement that works with our people, our campaign has all the momentum in this race. We have proven over and over since 2021 that when we meet-through sweat, through class, religion, age, through every line you have ever used to dividing us-we cannot stop us.”
