California AG Rob Bonta Gets "Rowena Brown For Oakland City Council" On Grand Lake Theater Marquee
California AG Rob Bonta Gets "Rowena Brown For Oakland City Council" On Grand Lake Theater Marquee This was the silent turn in the Oakland City Council At Large Race. The famous Grand Lake Theater Marquee, commonly known for hosting the political views of its owner Allen Michaan, had these words: "Rowena Brown for City Council" on it. I have seen the Grand Lake Theater Marquee hold some of the most explosive commentary over the years (Anyone remember "Jail to the Chief"?) , but never the name of an active Oakland City Council Candidate. Now, Rowena Brown gained the most first place votes and received the largest transfer of anyone when she received 49 percent of candidate Charlene Wang's second choice votes. As a result, she's way ahead of Former Oakland Police Chief LaRonne Armstrong 70,272 votes to 53,392 votes after rank choice voting. But how did her name get on the great historic theater's marquee? Well, today, and after posting a vlog about the movie :"Luther: Never Too Much" at his request, I called Allen to say hello. And during our talk, I asked Allen how the name placement happened. Allen cheerfully said "I got a call from California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who's a friend, and who asked if I would put Rowena's name on the theater marquee. Since Bonta was an assemblyman and helped me by crafting legislation to save the Antique Industry in the East Bay, I was only too happy to put Rowena's name on the Grand Lake Theater Marquee for all to see." Just goes to show that in the era of the text message, powerful politicians still get things done with a simple 20th Century phone call. It also shows how much Mr. Bonta wanted Rowena Brown to win. Stay tuned.
