* Voters had the option to "Abstain" or to "Do Not Endorse" in races.

** If Brenda Frazier has a website that I've missed, please let me know.

Candidates needed to receive at least 70% of the vote to achieve endorsement so no endorsement was reached in some of the races up for consideration. According to DfP, the non-endorsees received less than 50% at most, and almost all of the endorsees got 85% or more.

Democracy for Pittsburgh is the coalition group for the Pittsburgh area for Democracy for America.
