Today at 9:30a @AlamedaCounty Supervisors are conducting a special meeting and will discuss the #RankChoiceVoting results from the Nov 8 election for which an error was acknowledged by the ROV which impacted at least one race. How will trust in the election process be restored?

An Oakland police officer was shot during an undercover operation near 499 Embarcadero last night. Sources say the officer is deceased or not expected to survive. Here's the radio transcript from 4:45 a.m. just after the incident. 🔊🚓🚨

I grew up in the streets of Oakland as a kid around 65th street and Shattuck in the Brushrod neighborhood. My grandparents moved here in the 40s in pursuit of a better life. I chose to stay and raise a family in Oakland because of everything #TheTown represents. (1/2)

Appreciate this perspective on Keith Lee’s Bay Area visit. There are realities we have to acknowledge, but I’m not giving up on The Town. There are too many great things here worth fighting for... On the top of the list is our people.

Given the incredibly close margin based on last night’s instant runoff results, I believe it is premature to declare victory or defeat at this time. I appreciate that Councilmember Thao and members of the media seem to agree. As I have said since Election Night, (3/5)

Wow! The only good news is that it’s better for both candidates to be declared ineligible than only one… which would have resulted in an election victory on a technicality. We’ve got to restore confidence in #Oakland elections.

A Mayor should do their homework. Today’s GOTV event was to encourage voters in the districts that we represent to vote because turnout thus far has been low–especially among Latinx and Black voters. Instead of the desperate attacks, here's what actually happened today (1/4)
