In a decisive vote last week, the Alameda County Democratic Party, the local arm of the Democratic Party, announced its Opposition to the recall effort against Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao.
The Mayor said, “I’m proud to have the Democratic Party stand in strong Opposition to the recall. What Oakland needs now is stability and continued progress in driving down crime and getting our streets clean. If the recall passes, it will create unimaginable instability for Oakland. We could see four Oakland Mayors in the span of two years and possibly five Mayors within a span of three years. The recall will cost taxpayers upwards of $10 million, which is the same cost of having 35 officers on our streets. This recall is costly, risky, and is a transparent attempt, almost exclusively, by one millionaire hedge fund exec who lives in Piedmont to overturn a free and fair election.”
Alameda County Democratic Party Chair Igor Tregub explained their club’s recall position by saying, “Mayor Sheng Thao has consistently demonstrated her commitment to Oakland’s values, including economic justice, housing affordability, and public safety. The Alameda County Democratic Party is proud to stand with Mayor Thao and rejects this attempt to undermine her leadership. For more information, contact: OaklandersDefendDemocracy@gmail.com
