Oakland deserves a Mayor who works for citizens first.
“I want a city that serves all citizens with
compassion, advocacy, and action.”
The job of mayor involves having a vision for what is possible. It means convening and listening to visionaries in our own community, and harnessing their talent. It means supporting and empowering people in our community to create enduring solutions to problems, and together seeking positive opportunities for the future.
- As mayor I will be a hands-on manager and leader. I will be a tireless advocate for the basic rights and wellbeing of people in our City. I will fearlessly create a transparent form of City government. I will take a pro-active—not reactive—approach to managing our City’s fiscal crisis. And, I will create accountability at all levels of government for service excellence to our citizens and businesses.
- As mayor I will seek community solutions to social issues. I will listen to the community and its leaders by adopting proven solutions for change. I will support efforts and initiatives that benefit the greatest number of our citizens.
- As mayor I will commit resources to grass roots organizations.
I will play an active, engaged, and collaborative role with those who are improving the lives of citizens in our communities on a daily basis.
- As mayor I will advocate charter reform. I will work across all boundaries and with any group so that the form of our City’s government follows the desired function and results we want from our elected officials.
The Mayor’s office is a place where good things should happen for people in our community. I am inviting you to partner with me to make Oakland a safe, vibrant, and positive city for all.
In community spirit,
Don Macleay
