I am one of several people who have been requested to appear as a witness in the federal trial of former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and others, and I am fully cooperating with investigators. As public servants, it is our responsibility to earn the trust of the people we represent — and I continue to take that responsibility seriously. The conduct described in this case has no place in our government. I am focused on doing my part to cooperate honestly, transparently and completely, and on working to restore the confidence Oaklanders deserve from their leaders. Due to the ongoing investigation, I am unable to comment or respond to questions outside of official proceedings.

🗳️ Vote by Tuesday, June 2, 8pm! vote centers and drop boxes are open!

My top 3 election recommendations:

✅ Tom Steyer for Governor. will fight for working people — Tax corporations and billionaires so they pay their fair share and Californians get the healthcare, food security, and housing we deserve.

✅ Jane Kim for Insurance Commissioner. will fight for working families — Hold the insurance industry accountable, lower costs, expand coverage, and make claims fast and fair.

✅ Yes on Oakland’s Measure E - Oakland Firefighters and safety advocates support YES on E because it’s a fiscally responsible plan designed to keep fire stations open, maintain fire protection services and emergency response times, address gun violence, homeless encampments, illegal dumping/trash, and violent crime.

It’s Oakland Restaurant Week through March 22, 2026. Experience why Oakland was voted the #1 Food City in the U.S. for two consecutive years in a row by Condé Nast Traveler readers.

Some of my favorite spots in my Grand Lake neighborhood are:

- We just had a delicious dinner of small plates and especially loved the crab cakes, meatballs, and citrus & avocado salad. Shout-out to Chef Rico for the outstanding flavors every time.

- This is one of my fav bars with gorgeous decor, tasty cocktails, and the town’s best cesar salad. Thanks to Seth & Jenni for creating a fabulous experience with every visit. We even took our daughter here for her 21st birthday.

Check out for this year’s Restaurant Week extravaganza.
