Barabara Lee has launched a video appealing to voters for the Oakland mayoral election, urging them to rank her first and four other candidates in their subsequent choices. This ranked-choice voting strategy is pivotal in Oakland's elections to ensure a winner emerges with over 50% of the vote, addressing the situation from the last election where no candidate received a majority initially. Lee described the other candidates as "incredible, values-driven" individuals while aiming to leverage their support to boost her own candidacy.
“These are folks who don't just talk the talk; they walk it - boldly and with integrity. They’re in it for the people, not the politics.”
Lee is banking on the benefits of connecting her brand to the other candidates, hoping that their supporters will either change their minds and rank her first, or rank her second.
