Why Tony Moreno Wants To Be Pittsburgh's Mayor

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4, and Pittsburghers will be voting for the next mayor. The race is between Democrat Corey O'Connor and Republican Tony Moreno. Ahead of the spring primary, we asked each candidate to tell us why they're the right person to lead our city, and we're bringing back those conversations before you step into the voting booth. Today, host Megan Harris is talking to Tony Moreno, a retired police detective who served for more than 20 years. This is his second consecutive bid for mayor. The voter registration deadline is October 20, and you can fill out your form (and check your voter registration) on Allegheny County's website.  **This episode originally aired on May 5, 2025.
