| Description | Retired Pittsburgh police officer Tony Moreno announced Tuesday that he will run for mayor as a Republican in the November election.
“I made a promise in the very beginning that I would not get out of this race until I was voted out,” Moreno said. “I won’t get out.”
Moreno, 52, of Brighton Heights came in a distant third in the Democratic primary, getting 13% of the vote as state Rep. Ed Gainey defeated incumbent Mayor Bill Peduto, denying the mayor a third term in office.
[...]
Moreno received 1,379 Republican write-in votes, well above the 250-vote threshold to gain the nomination as a Republican.
“I changed my registration as a ceremonial gesture,” he said. “My message doesn’t change, 90 neighborhoods make one Pittsburgh. It’s just a natural fit. There’s a fight to save Pittsburgh and I’m in it.” |
