Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto conceded defeat to state Rep. Ed Gainey in a four-way Democratic primary race for mayor, positioning Gainey to become the first Black mayor in the city’s history.
With 393 of the city’s 402 voting precincts reporting results around 1:15 a.m., Gainey had received about 46.2% of the votes counted, while Peduto collected 39.3%, retired Pittsburgh police officer Tony Moreno had 13.1% and math tutor and ride-hailing-service driver Michael Thompson had 1.2%, the tallies showed.
Peduto had taken to Twitter about an hour earlier to congratulate Gainey.
“I just called (Gainey) and congratulated him on earning the Democratic endorsement for mayor of the city of Pittsburgh,” Peduto wrote. “Wishing him well. Thank you Pittsburgh for the honor of being your mayor these past 8 years. I will remain forever grateful.”
