Oakland faces a critical budget crisis and economic struggles, yet crime is reportedly improving, setting a complex backdrop for any mayoral candidates.
The upcoming special election includes not only the mayoral race but also a new council seat and possibly a sales tax measure, intensifying the political stakes.
