- Allegheny County Controller Corey O'Connor, a former Pittsburgh City Council member, led early returns with 92.2% of the vote and said, `It comes to the chief of police and how we don't even have one.`
- Following the projection, Corey O'Connor addressed the South Side election-night crowd, thanking Moreno and local unions as he prepares to serve as Pittsburgh's 62nd mayor sworn in January 5, 2026.
- Pittsburgh's result could be a bellwether for Democrats in Pennsylvania, a blue city in a state that flipped red in 2024, amid Democratic gains seen as a rebuke of President Donald Trump.
