Did you know that for every job at the port, there are 3 additional jobs created in the region? That’s the multiplier effect of a thriving port. The port generates $174 billion in economic impact and sustains 98,000 jobs. I’ll keep fighting for its expansion to secure a thriving, sustainable Oakland

When my father died, Oakland didn’t have the resources to investigate…

That’s why I’m running for City Council.

I never wanted to get into politics—because politics destroyed my family. But when my father died and the city lacked the resources to investigate, I realized Oakland was abandoning all of us.

Ballots drop March 17. Help us build an #Oakland that works for everyone!

Oakland City Council special election will again test power of labor unions

The seat could potentially swing votes by the eight-member council this summer on Oakland’s financial future.

Oakland can’t thrive without public safety. On today’s neighborhood tour with the San Antonio Neighborhood Coalition, I heard from residents and small business owners about the real impact of crime, trafficking, and unsafe streets. It’s time for new leadership and real solutions. #Oakland

Oakland needs real solutions to balance our budget—not raising the sales tax on residents and small businesses. We should be incentivizing people to shop local, not making it harder. Grateful for the chance to speak at the Cleveland Heights Neighborhood Council!
