MOBN! Releases Responses to Mayoral Candidate Questionnaire
Since the last election, Make Oakland Better Now! has become a 501(c)(3) non-profit. This means, among other things, that we do not endorse candidates for public office. However, we continue to obtain questionnaire responses from candidates concerning the most critical issues faced by the City of Oakland. Today, we are pleased to release responses to our questionnaires from Mayoral candidates.
MOBN! submitted our questionnaire to all fifteen mayoral candidates. We received responses from all but four, with Jason Anderson, Eric Wilson, Rebecca Kaplan and Ken Houston not participating (although Ken Houston did send us a copy of his platform statement). The full responses are available, and here are the links:
Saied Karamooz
Peter Y. Liu
Patrick McCullough
Bryan Parker
Jean Quan
Courtney Ruby
Libby Schaaf
Nancy Sidebotham
Dan Siegel
Joe Tuman
Charles Williams
Ken Houston (platform statement)
The questionnaire, with links to candidate answers to individual questions, is below.
