Councilmember Kevin Jenkins, who serves Oakland’s District 6, issued the following statement in response to the results of the recent recall election:

“As we await the final certification of the recall election, it is clear that the people of Oakland have made their voices heard. This election underscores that many residents believe our city has veered off course, and they are calling for change. Elections have lasting consequences, and serving in public office requires sacrifice, determination, and a commitment to listen to our communities.

Now, more than ever, it’s time for Oakland’s leaders to come together and work collaboratively to address the serious challenges we face. From safety and cleanliness to infrastructure and affordable housing, we must re-dedicate ourselves to building a city that every resident can take pride in—a city that truly reflects the strength, resilience, and diversity of Oakland.

Together, we can forge a better path forward, one where Oaklanders can feel safe, valued, and hopeful about the future. I look forward to working with my colleagues on the City Council, community leaders, and every Oakland resident to create a safer, cleaner, and stronger Oakland.”

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
