Cincinnati and Pittsburgh's mayoral races both made history
In an election year so far decorated with mayoral firsts nationwide, the history making has continued in both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
Democrats Aftab Pureval of Cincinnati and Ed Gainey of Pittsburgh have become their city's first Asian Pacific mayor and Black mayor, respectively, per the Cincinnati Enquirer and Pittsburgh's WTAE.
What's more, Pureval, who defeated longtime Cincinnati politician David Mann, will now be the only Asian Pacific mayor in the Midwest, per the Enquirer.
"We made history in Cincinnati," Pureval told supporters after his win.
