A.J. Tedesco Jr. has resigned from city council to become McKeesport's new community development director, reports the Daily News.
Tedesco, an Allegheny County employee who was completing his first term on council, replaces Bethany Budd Bauer, who has accepted early retirement, the newspaper says.
Jamie Brewster Filotei, who is running for council in November, was appointed by council to fill the remaining months of Tedesco's term.
In May, Tedesco won one of three Democratic nominations for a spot on the November ballot. The other candidates were Filotei and incumbent Councilwoman V. Fawn Walker-Montgomery.
Tedesco's resignation leaves a vacancy on the November ballot; the city's Democratic Committee will meet to choose his replacement on the ballot.
