Pittsburgh City Controller Michael Lamb, a fixture of local politics for more than two decades, hopes to add to his resume by becoming Allegheny County’s next county executive.
Lamb is announcing his bid to replace incumbent Rich Fitzgerald, who is term-limited and cannot run again, Monday morning. The post is arguably the most powerful local public position in western Pennsylvania, and Lamb was an avid supporter of a government restructuring effort that created the office more than two decades ago.
