In the race for Oakland's next mayor, substantial funding is flowing mainly towards candidates Barbara Lee and Loren Taylor, viewed as frontrunners. Lee's campaign has raised approximately $293,000 from individual donors, while Taylor's total contributions amount to about $310,000, including earlier fundraising. Labor support is notable for Lee, yet Taylor's performance showcases his message's appeal among residents. The upcoming special election on April 15 features a 10-candidate field, but the close competition between Lee and Taylor is expected to shape the outcome, influenced by ranked-choice voting.
Taylor's campaign raised about $253,000 in individual contributions over the same period, though it also had raised an additional $57,000 by Dec. 31.
Labor spending to support Lee's mayoral bid is reliably dominating the field of outside funding.
Despite Barbara Lee's universal name identification... Taylor's fundraising results further show that his message is resonating with Oakland residents.
The campaign for Lee raised roughly $293,000 from individual donors between Jan. 1 and March 1.
