Oakland Votes on Mayoral Race and School Board | California News

Oakland’s voters are about to make major decisions on November third, with a packed ballot featuring a mayoral race, contested City Council seats, and fiercely competitive school board elections—all while deciding on two local measures and a big regional transit tax. Incumbent Mayor Barbara Lee faces three challengers in a surprisingly tight mayoral race, while Districts Two and Six see heated contests. School board races are exploding with parent candidates stepping up amid financial strain and renewed community involvement. Voters will also weigh a bold proposal to give the mayor more power—and a foreclosure tax that could bring in millions. Plus, the regional Connect Bay Area measure could reshape transit across five counties. Ballots start mailing out October fifth—this is where Oakland’s future gets decided.
