Top Priorities if Elected |
- Create a "neighborhood law corps" of attorneys that work full time in our neighborhoods to demand code compliance and fight blight.
- Aggressively pursue gun merchants, drug dealer and sex offenders who endanger our children.
- Reform the City Attorney's Office. I'll clean up mismangagement, save money and finance legal programs that benefit the people of Oakland.

- "The law can and should be used as a tool to help our citizens. I'll create a Neighborhoods Law Corps to Fight Blight."
-
I started my careet as a Legal Aid lawyer specializing in consumer fraud. I believed then, as I do now, that attorneys have an obligation to use their expertise and training to serve the public.
- "I will implement reforms in the City Attorney's Office so that it operates professionally and serves the public trust."
-
The City Attorney's Office has missed at least two court dates this year.
- It's irresponsible to spend taxpayer dollars on expensive, out-of-town attorneys when the City Attorney's Office already has a large staff of lawyers.
-
"I'll ensure that the City of Oakland receives the finest legal representation available while using our in-house attorneys as often as possible."
