In advance of our 2025 Pittsburgh Mayoral Forum, PUMP Executive Director Josiah Gilliam recorded a Get To Know The Candidate conversation with all four of the candidates officially on the ballot for the May 20th Primary.

We designed these interviews to be conversational so that those that check them out have a chance to learn more about each candidate as people. We worked with PublicSource who developed questions for each candidate based on their coverage of the race: https://www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-mayoral-primary-2025-candidate-highlights-achievements-endorsements-democrat-republican/
