Local elections in Democratic strongholds at both ends of Pennsylvania next month could show how voters feel about progressive candidates and issues such as abortion and crime ahead of the 2024 election.
Philadelphia will get a new mayor, and Allegheny County - where Pittsburgh is the county seat - will see a new executive. Voters there will also decide whether to reelect the district attorney with the backing of another party, after his long career as a Democrat.
Oh, 63, ran unopposed in the Republican primary. He acknowledges getting elected mayor is a tough battle in a city that - in his words - hates Republicans. But he said he has often butted heads with the party and has created a coalition of Democrats and independents who supported him during his time on the council."Where people are today, it might take an outsider to buck the system," he said.
Oh rejected Parker's stance that tactics such as stop-and-frisk should be used to curb crime, which he said will create animosity. He pushed upgrading technology to better support them. Rockey, 59, is pushing for more officers on the street, whereas Innamorato has focused on developing a comprehensive public health approach to public safety.
