Barbara Lee is set to be sworn in as Oakland's Mayor amid significant challenges including a $270 million budget deficit and ongoing concerns about crime. Lee's political journey has seen her transition from Congress to this mayoral role after the recall of former Mayor Sheng Thao. Lee has pledged to address the city's financial issues and public safety through a 10-point, 100-day plan. Although crime has reportedly dropped by 30%, issues like gun violence persist, complicating her new role as Mayor.
It's been a pretty wild turn of career events for 27-year Bay Area Congresswoman Barbara Lee.
Despite the city's $270 million deficit and ongoing crime reputation, she introduced a 10-point plan aimed at financial recovery and public safety.
