There are four candidates in Pittsburgh's mayoral race, and we're asking each person why they think they're the right person to lead our city. This week, Host Megan Harris is talking with Corey O'Connor. He's served as Allegheny County Controller — the county’s top financial watchdog — since 2022, and was an elected member of City Council for over 10 years in District 5. He's also the son of our late former Mayor Bob O'Connor.

This is the second installment of our "Mayoral Mondays" series. Stay turned over the next month as we talk to the Republican candidates — former police officer Tony Moreno and Lawrenceville small business owner Thomas West. Plus, listen to part one, where incumbent Mayor Ed Gainey makes his pitch for why he deserves a second term.
