Why Corey O'Connor Wants To Be Pittsburgh's Mayor

from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast

On Nov. 4, Democrat Corey O'Connor will face off against Republican Tony Moreno to become Pittsburgh's next mayor. Ahead of the primary in May, we asked each mayoral candidate to explain why they're the right person to lead our city, and we're bringing back those conversations to help you make informed decisions in the voting booth. First, we're revisiting host Megan Harris' interview with Corey O'Connor. He's served as Allegheny County Controller — the county’s top financial watchdog — since 2022, and was an elected member of City Council for over 10 years in District 5. He's also the son of our late former Mayor Bob O'Connor. **This episode originally aired on April 21, 2025.  Learn more about the sponsors of this October 14th episode: Heinz History Center AIDS Free Pittsburgh Liberty Magic Pittsburgh Opera Planned Parenthood of Western PA Babbel - Get up to 55% off at Babbel.com/CITYCAST Become a member of City Cast Pittsburgh at membership.citycast.fm.
