Oaklandside just tried to split Barbara Lee’s record into highs and lows. There are no highs.

Deficits projected through 2030. Voters rejected her parcel tax. $24 million in federal money lost or delayed. Only 601 of 678 police jobs filled. 61 officers on leave. A police academy that started with 22 and graduated 14. About six officers walking out every month. She still has not hit the 700-officer mandate voters already paid for.

Encampments went up while she claimed homelessness was down. Downtown office vacancy near 38%. Buildings in foreclosure. The city auditor called the illegal dumping strategy a failure. Her city administrator was lost to a texting scandal. The strong mayor rewrite opponents called a power grab.

What the Oaklandside called highs were checks. Crankstart. Kaiser. Kapor. Private money to paper over a city that cannot fund itself, then a nonprofit newsroom treats the checks like a record.

That is Barbara Lee’s Oakland. A woman attacked at 8 a.m. while opening Javi’s Cooking. A Sunday shelter-in-place after a man shot at police and set a house on fire. A 23-year soul food landmark closed, and she posted that she stopped by to celebrate. The Raiders, the Warriors, and the A’s gone, and she hyped a frisbee title. A $1 million plan to pay unhoused people to pick up trash they create.

Leave Barbara Lee off your ballot for Mayor by November 3.

@jaycaspiankang Housing options aren’t the answer unless they are options for drug intervention, etc.

[Christa Cavanah @cacavanah]

@SenecaSpeaks21 She is horrible and doing a terrible job. Dumping getting worse and she wants to give money to illegals? My house just had an attempted break in so @BarbaraLee_CA why don’t we fix Oakland first.

[Christa Cavanah @cacavanah]

@JaniceDean I understand but who would you rather have as mayor, cuomo or mandami?

[Christa Cavanah @cacavanah]

@JustineBateman But Trump is the facial trying to bring down democracy. The double standard and idiocy is next level

@49ers Way overdue!! What a guy!

[Christa Cavanah @cacavanah]

@Nowooski @SenecaSpeaks21 This was a fantastic read. We need more people like you throughout the Bay Area picking through and understanding all the measures put on the ballot here. They are always intentionally misleading and certainly our news outlets do nothing to break the cycle. Well done.

@WallStreetApes Hahahaha I loved this

[Christa Cavanah @cacavanah]

@MeghanMcCain @spencerpratt His growth in this process to become mayor is a masterclass. Went from activist to serious candidate backed by pure facts.
