Ryan Richardson, an assistant attorney with 20 years of experience, is endorsed over rival Brenda Harbin-Forte, as he displays a commitment to transparency and accountability.
Brenda Harbin-Forte’s leadership role in the recall campaign against Mayor Sheng Thao complicates her candidacy, as it could create conflicts of interest with potential clients.
The position of city attorney requires careful balance between public accountability and legal privilege, further complicating the dynamics in Oakland's political environment.
Richardson aims to change the insular nature of the City Attorney’s Office, promoting transparency to restore public trust in the city’s legal advisements.
