The Democratic primary winner will face Joe Rockey in the November general election for the executive position. Rockey, a former PNC Financial Services executive, was unopposed for the Republican nomination.
Four other candidates were on the Democratic ballot: Pittsburgh city Controller Michael Lamb; attorney and former county Councilman Dave Fawcett; Theresa Colaizzi, a former Pittsburgh Public Schools board member and Will Parker, a mobile app developer.
The six Democrats were vying to succeed county Executive Rich Fitzgerald, who is term-limited and will leave office after 12 years in December. The winner will be in charge of a county with a population of $1.2 million, a $3 billion budget, 7,500 employees, 400 miles of roads and 500 bridges.
