As far as campaign funding is concerned, Democratic nominee Corey O’Connor is running away with the general election race for Pittsburgh mayor. That’s more than 60 times the roughly $4,000 Republican nominee Tony Moreno has on hand. O’Connor already flexed his fundraising muscles this year, outraising incumbent Democratic Mayor Ed Gainey in the spring and besting him in the primary election. Tony Moreno speaks to his supporters at his primary election night party, Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at Moonlite Cafe in Brookline. Pittsburgh has not elected a Republican mayor since the 1930s, and Moreno was trounced at the polls as the GOP nominee in 2021.
