Priorities

"We must not be a city divided, but a community united. I'll bring people together—such as Labor and Business—and work to solve the toughest challenges facing Oakland.

As Mayor, I'll lead a government that serves the people, not special interests. Let's get to work to stabilize our City's budget and work to deliver the services you rely on."

— Barbara Lee

EVERY OAKLANDER'S SAFETY:

"Oaklanders deserve to feel safe in their neighborhoods. We must work towards comprehensive public safety strategies that include law enforcement, violence pre­vention, and alternative response models."

EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO HOMELESSNESS:

"We must connect unhoused individuals with housing, addiction and mental health services and place unhoused people who transition to supportive housing with a job."
