Pittsburgh was front and center last weekend in the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race as Republican nominee Mehmet Oz held a press conference downtown on Sept. 30, while Democratic opponent John Fetterman spoke at a rally in the city’s Strip District the next day.

Fetterman is Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor and a former longtime mayor of Braddock, a borough of 1,633, eight miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
