If the District 2 Councilmember waits until she is sworn in as the Alameda County 5th District Supervisor in January, a special election likely will not be held until May 2025.
The city is also struggling to balance a massive budget deficit and leadership turnover, and empty seats on the council have been flagged by financial analysts as yet another risk.
If the city doesn't line things up right, Oakland could be on the hook for two expensive elections.
Ideally, the elections will happen at the same time in mid-April, but the timing could be tricky.
