"Analyzing the Election: Progressive Innamorato and Law-and-Order Zappala Win Over Voters"

Political strategists analyze the election of progressive Sara Innamorato as Allegheny County Executive and law-and-order Democrat Steve Zappala as District Attorney. Innamorato's victory was attributed to her strategic campaign, distancing herself from left-wing progressivism and aligning with moderate Democrats. Support from Governor Josh Shapiro and denouncing the Democratic Socialists of America also played a role. Zappala's success was attributed to his messaging as a law-and-order Democrat and targeting mail-in voters who had previously supported him. The election highlighted a divide between city Democrats and suburban Democrats in Allegheny County.

"Sara Innamorato Criticizes Democratic Socialist Stance on Israel/Gaza Conflict"

Sara Innamorato, a Democratic candidate for Allegheny County executive, has denounced the statements made by the national and local chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) regarding the Israel-Gaza conflict. Innamorato called the statements "anti-Israel" and criticized them for ignoring the attacks on innocent Israelis. She expressed solidarity with the Jewish people and innocent civilians affected by the conflict, stating that Israel has the right to defend itself while minimizing civilian casualties. Innamorato, who was previously a member of the DSA, ended her membership in 2019.

Sara Innamorato secures Democratic nomination for Allegheny County executive.

Pennsylvania Rep. Sara Innamorato has won the Democratic nomination in the race to become Allegheny County's first female county executive. Innamorato's win follows in the footsteps of fellow progressives such as her longtime ally, U.S. Rep. Summer Lee, and Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey. Like them, Innamorato has focused on the need to redress social and racial disparities and step up the county's enforcement of environmental regulations. She also pledged to address a shortage of affordable housing and shore up mass transit.
