Incumbent Democrat Conn Scully, the former City Council President who had assumed the executive rank in October 1936, after the resignation of William McNair, was elected to a first full term. The McNair administration had been shrouded in controversy, including hostile relations between the mayor and both city council and the county bureaucracy, as well as a slow response to the devastating St. Patrick's Day Flood. Scully had been a vocal McNair adversary and was closely connected to David L. Lawrence, the state party chairman and city political leader (who later became mayor); this position saved the mayor's office for Democrats, who had been only recently empowered in the city. The race featured a strong GOP opponent in Bob Waddell, the popular football coach at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University). Councilman Abe Wolk made the formation of a Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera a major campaign issue for both candidates. {{Election box begin| title=Pittsburgh mayoral election, 1937[1]}}{{Election box candidate with party link |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Conn Scully* |votes = 122,329 |percentage = 57.1 |change = }}{{Election box candidate with party link |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Bob Waddell |votes = 92,019 |percentage = 42.9 |change = }}{{Election box turnout |votes = 214,348 |percentage = |change = }}{{Election box hold with party link| |winner = Democratic Party (US) |swing = }}{{Election box end}}{{asterisk}}Scully received 121,075, 1043, 201, and 10 votes on Democratic, Independent, Square Deal, and non-partisan ballots respectively.{{Portal|Pittsburgh}} References1. ^{{cite news|newspaper=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|date=November 19, 1937|page=11|title=Scully Majority Officially 30,310|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=9blRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=umkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2521%2C4698258}}
