Loren Taylor, a candidate for the special election in Oakland, recently revealed his battle with a life-threatening liver condition that required a transplant. The election is set for April 15, featuring prominent candidates such as Barbara Lee and Renia Webb. Taylor emphasized his renewed lease on life following the surgery at the Mayo Clinic and expressed his commitment to changing the political landscape in Oakland. His personal experience underpins his hope to make a significant impact and address the shortcomings of current political practices in the city.
I really do feel like I have a new lease on life because of this transplant. Because of someone else's tragedy, the organ donor whom I am now the beneficiary of.
Business-as-usual politics in Oakland has failed us. And now, the same political practices can no longer continue if we want to truly see progress in our city.
