Briefly

Rev Kenneth Anderson is running for Oakland City Council to address critical issues facing his community, particularly in District 2, which struggles with crime and public safety. He believes that serving on the council will empower him to make tangible changes for the residents. His approach to the city’s fiscal crisis includes cutting costs, streamlining operations, and enhancing revenue through audits and events at city venues. Anderson's commitment to public welfare drives his candidacy, as he seeks to turn community concerns into action by becoming a public official.
I simply care about the welfare of Oakland in this dark hour. I wanted to step out myself to help make the changes needed.
Being on City Council will allow me to help get the job done for the people, knowing I was once just a resident asking for changes.
For D2, issues like crime, sex trafficking, and public safety for small businesses are uniquely pressing.
To balance the city budget, I will implement cost-cutting measures, streamline operations, and explore enhancing revenue through audits and event income.
