The upcoming special election for Oakland's mayor on April 15 features three candidates: Barbara Lee, Loren Taylor, and Renia Webb. The election follows the recall of Mayor Sheng Thao, who was federally indicted for bribery. During a recent forum, Webb distanced herself from Thao, claiming integrity, while Lee emphasized her long-term focus on securing funding for community issues. Taylor outlined a vision for a clean and safe Oakland filled with opportunities. Coverage of the event was limited, and KGO and KTVU provided highlights and candidate statements.
When people try to associate me with Sheng I say great, go ahead. because I'm the one that stood up to her and said, 'I'm not going to be corrupt and I'm not going to sell out Oakland.'
I have focused on local issues in terms of bringing home billions of dollars to make sure that my community benefits from my work on the national and state level.
Oakland has to be clean. It has to be safe. We have to be full of opportunities. That is the core.
