  • 🌳 I've worked hard to restore your trust in City Hall. Oakland deserves a government that delivers: faster service, more transparency, and real accountability. That's why I'm asking for your vote for Mayor, and why I'm supporting Yes on Measure EE, which creates a strong mayor with clear responsibility and gives the City Council stronger oversight, including new hearing and subpoena powers. Let's keep Oakland moving forward. 🗳️ Re-elect Mayor Barbara Lee BarbaraLee4Oakland.com #BarbaraLee
