Former Oakland Mayor Elihu Harris and assembly candidate Janani Ramachandran at a meet and greet for her on June 18.

Oakland needs a representative who is committed, has integrity, and will walk the walk, says former Oakland Mayor and Assemblymember Elihu Harris. At the age of 29, Harris first ran to represent the 18^th district in the California State Assembly.

Forty-three years later, he joined Oakland residents in supporting Janani Ramachandran, 29-year-old social justice attorney, community activist, and candidate for California State Assembly in the June 29 special election.

Addressing a crowd of 50 community members in the Glenview community on June 18, Harris introduced Ramachandran, emphasizing the importance of the state Legislature.

“We need someone who will connect the State Capitol with Oakland, making sure that our homelessness problem is going to be addressed, our water issues are going to be addressed, our air quality is going to be addressed,” he said.

Janani is the only Oakland candidate running for this seat. Having served Oakland communities through legal services, legislative advocacy, and as a Public Ethics Commissioner, she will bring a community-oriented perspective to the Assembly.

Ramachandran has comprehensive plans to address the root causes of poverty, joblessness, housing, environmental racism, violence, and other crucial issues impacting Oakland communities.

“We need somebody who can go up there and provide leadership, make hard decisions, and be strategic as she’s demonstrated.” said Harris.

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.
