On Camera: District 1 City Council Candidates
The League of Women Voters of Oakland hosted a District 1 candidates' forum on Sept. 20, shown in this YouTube video (about an hour long).
Seven candidates are seeking the District 1 Oakland City Council seat being vacated by long-time incumbent Jane Brunner, who is running for the Oakland City Attorney's job in the Nov. 6 election. They are Craig Brandt, Dan Kalb, Amy Lemley, Don Link, Don Macleay, Len Raphael and Richard Raya. Find more information and links to the candidates' websites in "Who's Your Pick to Replace Jane Brunner?"
This article in the East Bay Express offers an overview of the candidates.
District 1 covers North Oakland, including Rockridge, Temescal, Upper Rockridge, Temescal, the North Oakland Hills, a portion of Montclair and other North Oakland neighborhoods. You can see a map of the district on OurOakland.net.
