Local elections in Democratic strongholds at both ends of Pennsylvania next month could show how voters feel about progressive candidates and issues such as abortion and crime ahead of the 2024 election. Philadelphia will get a new mayor and Allegheny County will see a new executive.

Oh, 63, ran unopposed in the Republican primary. He acknowledges getting elected mayor is a tough battle in a city that — in his words — hates Republicans. But he said he has often butted heads with the party and has created a coalition of Democrats and independents who supported him during his time on the council.
Oh and Parker agreed crime is the most pressing city issue. Both want to see more officers employed and more deployed in neighborhoods. “I’m glad I didn’t succumb to the emotional pressures of the moment and buy into a philosophy that was antithetical and not coming from the people who were experiencing the most pain,” she said.Public safety is also a prominent campaign issue in the Pittsburgh area, where progressive Democrat Sara Innamorato, a former state legislator, and Republican Joe Rockey, a former chief risk officer at PNC bank, are running for Allegheny County executive.
“I feel like taking on this position, we can take county government and make sure there’s more of a community-led, people-centered process, and we can talk about things that haven’t really been championed at the county level in a strategic and cohesive way,” she said.
