Jesse Smith Gets Signatures At Peet’s Coffee In Run For Mayor Of Oakland

Jesse Smith Gets Signatures At Peet’s Coffee In Run For Mayor Of Oakland - Video

Jesse Smith sets virtual office for Mayor of Oakland Run. The new Peet’s Coffee on Broadway and Telegraph Avenue in Downtown Oakland at 1615 Broadway, has already become a community center. Because of its location right smack in the middle of the central business district of Oakland, you are likely to no only see someone you know but also someone you should know. In his hunt for signatures for his run for Mayor Of Oakland, Jeese Smith could be found at Peet’s, and he wasn’t hanging out for free pastries. Smith needs at least 50 good signings to be on the ballot. The last time he and I talked about this, the Oakland Police critic had 60 standard signatures and 7 “sponsor” signatures. One of the standard signatures is mine. Simple reason: anyone who is trying to show that anyone can run for the office of Mayor of Oakland, deserves my “John Hancock”. Considering the number of people in Oakland who complain about government, it’s weird to have only 17 people running for Mayor - and that is a record! There should be at least 100 of them. To date, Jesse has based his campaign in one Twitter account and failed to make any public speeches or press conferences - until last night, when he went to the Oakland weed industry candidates forum, and gave a speech he tweeted about later, saying he was the only person running who didn’t talk about himself. Well, there is nothing wrong with talking about yourself and the whole point is to talk about yourself. But Jesse is obviously gaining confidence in himself - will it be enough to increase his visibility in the Mayoral Race? Well, he has to be certified by the Oakland City Clerk, first. Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
