Part 1: Loren Taylor

Thursday, March 6th @ 4 - 5:30pm

• This is a virtual event

Loren Taylor is a third-generation Oaklander and former city councilmember, Taylor is running for Oakland mayor after narrowly losing in his previous run against Sheng Thao. He is a founder of Empower Oakland, a volunteer-led advocacy group that got involved in local politics by backing candidates and pushing for the recalls of both Thao and Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price. If elected, he plans to increase Oakland’s police force to 800 officers, restore closed fire stations, bring back City Hall employees, require “concessions from city budget stakeholders,” and eliminate taxes for businesses with revenue under $1.5 million.
