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 18th 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.
