- Public Safety

Hiring more police might help public safety, but a multi-faceted problem needs an intelligent, multi-faceted solution. Here's what I think:
- Children, Schools, and Parks
-
I will continue to make serving and fighting for Oakland's families and youth my highest priority.
- Neighborhood Revitalization and City Services
-
Working families deserve a City Government that works for them.
