宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡：市议员格罗斯宣布不再连任 结束第7选区13年任期
宾夕法尼亚州阿勒格尼县匹兹堡市消息：匹兹堡市议员黛布·格罗斯11月5日晚宣布，她将不再参加明年的连任竞选，在现任任期于2027年12月31日结束后卸任。
格罗斯自2013年11月赢得特别选举以来，一直代表匹兹堡市议会第7选区，任职已超过13年。她的选区以波兰山、劳伦斯维尔、布鲁姆菲尔德、友谊区、斯坦顿高地、晨边与高地公园等社区为中心，是匹兹堡市东部人口结构最多元的地区之一。
格罗斯在宣布决定时表示，她之所以选择此时卸任，部分原因是她相信已有合适的人选能够接替她的工作，继续服务选区居民。格罗斯长期关注社区发展、住房与邻里事务，她的卸任将使第7选区议席在明年出现空缺，预计将吸引多名候选人参选。
Pittsburgh Councilor Deb Gross Won't Seek Reelection After 13 Years in District 7
PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Pittsburgh City Councilor Deb Gross announced on the evening of November 5 that she will not run for reelection next year and will step down when her current term ends on December 31, 2027.
Gross has represented District 7 on Pittsburgh City Council since winning a special election in November 2013, serving for more than 13 years. Her district centers on the Polish Hill, Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, Friendship, Stanton Heights, Morningside and Highland Park neighborhoods and is among the most diverse areas of Pittsburgh's East End.
Gross said she chose to step aside in part because she believes the right successor is ready to take over and continue serving district residents. She has long focused on community development, housing and neighborhood issues; her departure will leave the District 7 seat open next year and is expected to draw multiple candidates.
