Oakland special election pits ‘political outsider’ against longtime Dem power player

Exclusive: Lauren Taylor, a former member of the Auckland City Council, said that former deputy Barbara Lee’s relations with the political establishment can help him to beat Auckland who “tired” with the current situation before the special elections April 15.

Taylor participated in his self -described political plans that served only one term as a member of the city council after being removed from the gay of 16 years, plans to bring change to the “troubled” Bay Bay “in an interview with Fox News Digital.

Taylor said: “I run as political experience with sufficient experience inside the city hall to understand what is going on, but not so much that I am firmly in the political establishment. This is what Auckland is looking for.”

while Lee – the former member of the Progressive Assembly in congress and the Senate Candidate for the year 2024 – has a recognition of national names and experience, and Taylor has made waves in the private elections in Auckland where the campaign financing reports reveal that California’s career has exceeded.

“We have raised more money than other candidates in this race from the locals,” Taylor said. “More than 80 % of our contributions come directly from the people who live here in Auckland, compared to less than 50 % for the basic components. This talks about volumes about who this campaign is. We are called to Aucklands, the locals who are affected by the decisions made. The campaign is increasingly momentum in these last days that are increasingly supportive.”

The amazing budget deficit in Auckland forced $ 129.8 for the fiscal year 2024-25 some Oakland extinguishing operations to close its doors earlier this year. The City Council issued a decision to reopen that extinguishing, and to prevent the tragedy from financial mismanagement.

The liberal city had four presidents of different presidents in a period of four months after the past Mayor Shing Thao was called in November and then accused him of eight charges of bribery. Oakland was without a clear leader this year as the city continues to deal with the homeless crisis.

The Aladeda County Health report in January 2024 was found on time (PIT) that there are 5,490 displaced individuals in Auckland in 2024, an increase of 9 % since 2022.

Taylor explained, “Auckland is frustrated.” “We are upset that we did not get what we deserve, and what we should get from our local government. The current situation still fails when we see crime rates out of control, and we see homelessness still grow when it shrinks in neighboring cities, and we see our city face the largest deficit in the financial budget in our history – a number of failures that show that what does not work.”

While the Oakland Police Administration reported a decrease in violent crimes in 2024, 2025 began an increase in the crime that was afflicted with five murders recorded within a period of 48 hours. By January 3, San Francisco Chronkal has reported the third and seventh Auckland murder of the Oak and the seventh of December 2024.

Taylor called for more police officers on the ground with technology to prevent violence and chaos.

“We are struggling as a city, and this is what this campaign talks to. I am ready to make difficult and necessary decisions in order to reform mismanagement, in order to address corruption face to face, restore confidence in the city hall, and make sure that we are chasing as Oakland wants.”

Via the Gulf directly, the mayor of San Francisco Daniel Lori has wandered since he took office in January. Release San Francisco The SFPD Work Squad (SFPD), and the state of fentanel passed from the emergency decree working to clean the streets of San Francisco and restore what is described by the logic policies of the city.

Taylor said: “I am completely watching what is going on in San Francisco across the Gulf and even in South Bay, in San Jose, with the mayor Matt Mahan, who I am proud to support,” said Taylor. “I think that both of these mayors are political strangers, just like me. They did not grow up in the ranks of the government. They had jobs, and they greatly influenced abroad and saw the gaps with the local government. I think we are participating in this in terms of bringing data, an approach that relies on the results in moving things forward.”
