The Honorable Tom Murphy
When Tom Murphy first took office in January 1994, Pittsburgh was suffering from one of the worst inferiority complexes in its history. The City was desperate for a leader who would direct a physical and psychological turnaround. After two terms in office, the Pittsburgh that Tom Murphy inherited is a dim memory. Replacing it today is a high-energy, cosmopolitan city that glows with optimism about it future. As a government manager, Murphy trimmed the city's workforce by more than 1,000, a reduction of nearly 21%. As an economic revitalization visionary Murphy has directed more than $4 billion in new investment in the city-from office towers for two of the city's nationally ranked banks to new world -class facilities for the city's professional football and baseball teams to expanded Downtown convention center. City neighborhoods, tarnished from decades of neglect, have been refurbished through the mayor's Neighborhood Needs Program. As a technology booster, Murphy has made Pittsburgh a model for Northeastern cities transitioning from heavy industrial-based economies. The city is now experiencing an explosion of new economic ventures with anchors in high technology and internet-based start-up companies. Part of what has attracted cutting-edge companies and hundreds of talented professionals to settle here in recent years is the success of the quality of life initiatives begun in Murphy's first term and now bearing fruit. Public safety has been a top-priority for Murphy since day one. He understood the need to address public safety concerns to improve the quality of life of city residents and to encourage outsiders to consider moving into the city. The son of a steelworker, Murphy was born August 15, 1944. After graduating from John Carroll University, he worked as a chemical sales representative for Alcoa. In 1970, Murphy and his wife Mona joined the Peace Corps, working in rural Paraguay. The couple embraced the Peace Corps ethic of self-sufficiency and community building which has become a trademark of his current leadership style. In 1973, he earned a graduate degree with honors in Urban Studies from Hunter College in New York City. Upon his return to Pittsburgh, Murphy worked as a State Representative for the 20th Legislative District in Pittsburgh from 1979 until his election as Mayor.
