Dark Money Floods Pittsburgh Mayoral Race, Fueling Attack Ads

Pittsburgh's mayoral race has become a battleground for outside spending, with so-called 'dark money' groups pouring unlimited funds into attack ads and mailers targeting candidates. Political action committees (PACs) are using these funds to influence the outcome of the election, raising concerns about transparency and the role of undisclosed donors. The influx of money has intensified the campaign, making it one of the most contentious in recent memory. This trend highlights growing worries about the impact of untraceable political spending on local democracy.
