Peduto was born on October 30, 1964, and graduated from Chartiers Valley High School in 1983. After one year at Carnegie Mellon University, Peduto transferred to Pennsylvania State University, pursuing a degree in political science while simultaneously becoming president of the University’s chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. He dropped out, however, before completing the degree requirements. In 2007, Peduto returned to finish his degree requirements and became the only member of the nine-member Pittsburgh City Council at the time to have a bachelor’s degree.
On the City Council, he chaired the Committee on General Services, Technology and the Arts. The Committee is in charge of all contracts and purchases as well as city owned buildings and land. Peduto also oversaw the City Information Systems department, the Cable Bureau and the Art Commission on Council. Peduto describes himself as a proponent of progressivism and as a “Reform Democrat.” He was named one of “100 New Democrats to Watch” by the Democratic Leadership Council in 2003 and one of National Journal’s “PA Up and Comers” in 2004 and 2006.
Peduto launched his first campaign for Mayor of Pittsburgh in the 2005 mayoral election. He was defeated in the primary, however, by eventual general election winner Bob O’Connor. In 2006, following O’Connor’s death, City Council President Luke Ravenstahl became Mayor. In his second bid for Mayor, Peduto mounted a primary challenge to Ravenstahl in the 2007 special election. Peduto ended his campaign before the primary, however, acknowledging Ravenstahl’s relative popularity at the time. Peduto faced criticism for this decision from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial board, which accused him of “political cowardice.”
