I’ve worked at multiple levels of government in transportation and land use planning, including as Oakland’s Policy Director of Transportation and Government Affairs, where I shaped the city’s infrastructure and environmental policies. As Section Chief of Community Resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic, I helped fast-track community testing and vaccination sites and launched the nation’s largest Slow Streets program.
Inspired by a family legacy of service, I’m committed to improving Oakland’s future. I’m also a proud husband, West Oakland resident, and founder of the Black Queer Men’s Brunch. As the first openly Black gay man on City Council, I bring a unique, inclusive perspective.- Safety: Public safety is a critical concern as rising crime rates, including frequent break-ins and property crimes, have shaken the community's sense of security and made it difficult for businesses to thrive. This issue not only affects residents' day-to-day lives but also deters potential investors and businesses from setting up in the city. Traffic safety is also critical to making people feel comfortable walking around their neighborhoods. I want to pre-authorize traffic calming contracts so the Oakland Department of Transportation can improve traffic safety in low-income communities impacted by traffic violence more efficiently
- Affordable housing: Streamlining affordable housing development in priority equity neighborhoods to by-right approval to add more affordable housing units in Oakland and prioritize Oakland’s city-owned vacant properties for affordable housing development and social services
- Economic Development: Provide provisional licenses for Oakland merchants to fill vacant storefronts in priority equity neighborhoods to improve access to jobs in Oakland
In office, I will prioritize practical solutions over ideology and work across different viewpoints to move projects forward. City government should focus on delivering results, whether improving public safety, advancing affordable housing, or enhancing transportation. A pragmatic approach involves setting clear goals, building consensus, and staying focused on outcomes that benefit everyone, rather than getting bogged down in bureaucracy or political gridlock.
My goal is to make city government more accessible and understandable, even to those who may disagree with my positions. Transparency is key—I want people to know exactly what I’m working on and why.
