I want to congratulate Loren Taylor on the strong campaign he ran. He and his family have been making a difference for this city for generations and we owe him a real debt of gratitude. 2/13

I want to thank everyone who made this campaign possible. From my loving partner Andre and our children, Ben and Brooklyn, to my campaign team, volunteers, and everyone who endorsed us. 4/13

I’m very excited to get to work as Mayor in January, but I’m also very humbled to be here. 15 years ago, I was living in my car with my baby. I’ve been through a lot to get to this moment, and have had so many people lift me up in order to get here. 5/13

As we get to work, I’m going to focus on the top priorities which we spelled out in the campaign, which I know are also the priorities of Oaklanders. 6/13

On Day One, we will begin putting in place the comprehensive public safety plan we laid out during the campaign. That involves doubling down on the violence prevention programs that we know reduce violent crime, addressing root causes of crime by working to create more jobs…7/13

…and educational opportunities, filling vacancies in our police department with experienced and diverse officers, providing real support for victims, and redoubling our efforts to get guns off our streets. 8/13

Moving forward, we are going to work to make Oakland the most proactive city in California on housing and homelessness. We’re going to have an aggressive housing policy that protects renters, fights displacement, and treats our unhoused with the dignity they deserve. 9/13

And I’m a renter myself. So our tenants should know that I’m going to be a Mayor who has their back. 10/13

We are going to make sure we support our small businesses, to make it easier for them to open, to thrive, and to contribute to our city. 11/13
