TONYA PAYNE
Tonya Payne, who served one term as Pittsburgh’s City Council’s District 6 representative before losing her seat to R. Daniel Lavelle four years ago, said when she left office, she left some work undone. And, as they are still undone, she wants the voters to send her back to finish the job.

All he had to do was show up and cut the ribbon.”
