Mayor Ed Gainey launches re-election campaign
Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey has launched a re-election campaign.
The first-term mayor launched a new website announcing his bid for another four-year term.
“I’m running for re-election because I know that Pittsburgh can be the safest, most welcoming, and most thriving city in America,” Gainey wrote on the site. “Over the past 3 years we’ve made amazing strides, but there is still work left to do.”
On the site, Gainey touted his administration’s efforts to take out a bond to fund additional affordable housing initiatives, increase police pay and recruitment and bolster infrastructure investments.
