Libby Schaaf Oakland Mayor Becomes Oakland Roots Head Cheerleader

By
Libby Schaaf Oakland Mayor Becomes Oakland Roots Head Cheerleader - Video

When Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf was running for Mayor of Oakland, and through her first year, some people and especially in the right-wing media would point to her time as an Oakland Skyline High School Cheerleader, and call her the City's "Head Cheerleader." Sometimes derisively and arguably with not a small bit of sexism. That written, it's hard to argue with the moniker in the specific case of yesterday's Oakland Roots Pro Soccer Block Party. To say the Mayor of Oakland let her hair down would not be an understatement. Libby got into it. Leading the crowd in an "O" cheer that would make the Oakland Raiders proud, except the team's headed to Las Vegas by 2021. Dancing and jumping up and down, and in total, just having herself a good old time! But details. It's nice to see Libby having a little fun and enjoying Oakland's newest sports organization. She did manage to leave before our Richard Haick could ask her questions; Mayor Schaaf escaped down the stairs, and on her way to her next scheduled stop. By the way, the Oakland Roots tied their inaugural game 3-3. Stay tuned.

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

By
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
