In Pittsburgh, the Democratic primary is the "real" election. If you vote by mail, your ballot is coming soon! The primary is 5/20. We're flooded with unpleasant mailers, mainly by PACs supporting Corey O'Connor. They're using racist tropes & telling weirdly easily disproved lies. 1/5

On the left, a mailer that claims the mayor isn't getting blight demolitions done. It has a photo of two houses, and one of them is a wreck. On the right is a more recent photo of the same place. The blighted house is gone, and was demolished in 2023.

It's easy to attack the incumbent. I saw someone complain that if the Mayor had RESURFACED ALL THE STREETS with better materials, we won't have potholes. 🤷‍♂️ O'Connor served on City Council while snow plow fleets aged & roads weren't magically resurfaced, & says that he can do the job better. 2/5
