Oaklanders have always overcome challenges by coming together. At this critical moment, we must not be a city divided, but a community united. With the support of Oakland Firefighters, business and labor leaders, and community I’ve made the decision to run for Mayor of Oakland – to unite our City; make it stronger and safer; and improve opportunity for everyone.

We need a ceasefire in the Middle East immediately. 10,000+ Palestinian & Israeli civilians have been killed since the war began. 3,500+ Palestinian children are among the victims. 242 Israelis are being held hostage. Hostilities must end to prevent the further loss of life.

I’m the only candidate in this race with the lived experience of being unhoused. I’ve been leading this fight my entire career. In the Senate, I’ll work to pass my DEPOSIT Act, secure HUD grants to build affordable housing, and enact national rent control policies. #CASenDebate

Hey, Oakland! I have a MAJOR announcement… Addressing a key component of my 100-day Plan, I’ve convened a working group to review and provide recommendations for reforming Oakland’s Charter! In living rooms and listening sessions I’ve convened across the City, our residents are demanding greater accountability, transparency, and effective service delivery - and I’m listening. Our focus areas: Better define the role of elected officials Address responsible city financial planning Improve government accountability and transparency Partnership: I’ve engaged the League of Women Voters of Oakland and SPUR to co-chair the working group, including a broad spectrum of community, Business, Labor, and government reform experts. Timeline: The Working Group will be convened by me and City Council President Kevin Jenkins and begin meeting in August. We’ll provide recommendations to the Mayor and City Council by January. Any amendments to the charter must be approved by Oakland voters. Oakland’s charter is the foundation of how our local government functions. The League of Women Voters and SPUR are proud to help lead a process that educates people about the importance of the charter and expands public participation in this important conversation. This is an opportunity to increase the effectiveness, transparency, and accountability of Oakland’s government for generations to come. Your voice matters. Your city matters. Let’s build the Oakland we all deserve together. #Oakland #CharterReform #100DayPlan

President Trump’s attacks on Oakland are nothing new – they’re rooted in fear-mongering and cheap political point-scoring that targets Black-led cities across America. As I told Jake Tapper on CNN, we know this playbook. I’ve stood up to this rhetoric in Congress, and as your Mayor, I’ll always defend our community. The facts speak louder than the noise: We’re making real progress through comprehensive public safety – combining law enforcement, violence prevention, and community policing. We have more work ahead, but my administration remains relentless in keeping our families safe and our neighborhoods thriving. Oakland deserves better than divisive attacks – and that’s exactly what we’re delivering.
