It’s a wide open race as current Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf will will be termed out at the end of her second term.
OAKLAND — The race to become Oakland’s next mayor is getting more crowded, with former City Councilmember Ignacio De La Fuente officially announcing this week that he is throwing his hat in the ring.
De La Fuente is experienced in Oakland politics, having served on the council from 1992 to 2013 as one of its most powerful members, including in a role as council president for almost a decade. He is vowing to beef up the number of police officers and said he “will not tolerate” homeless encampments in the city. De La Fuente also promises to put resources toward repairing city streets, sewer lines and other infrastructure.
Others announcing their intention to run for mayor include Allyssa Victory, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California and for the Communications Workers of America; Derrick Soo, an Oakland native who advocates for homeless residents and has experienced homelessness; and longtime Oakland resident Steve Schear, who has advocated for a wealth tax in Oakland, an annexation of Piedmont and reparations for Black residents, on his campaign website.
