  <description>Todd McCollum and Russell Dryer sit down with Tracy Larger, candidate for Pittsburgh City Council District 4. Tracy shares her personal story - from community involvement to becoming a judge of elections - and explains how public safety concerns and neighborhood change inspired her to launch a grassroots campaign centered on transparency, local voice, and commonsense leadership.
The episode explores major topics affecting District 4 and Pittsburgh at large, including the controversial tiny house proposal for interim housing, city council’s push to bypass zoning oversight, and the lack of community input around projects like the Moore Park tree removal and Carrick cell tower installation. The hosts and guest reflect on local events like Little Italy Days and highlight support from candidates including Maria Battista, Matt Wolford, Mike Embrescia, and more.
With a focus on essential services, city budget accountability, and preserving the character of Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods, this episode underscores why District 4 could be a pivotal battleground in the coming election, and why voices like Tracy’s are stepping up. Special Guest: Tracy Larger.
