June Ballot Initiatives
Initiatives
can be placed on the ballot by citizens and
legislators. When an initiative's sponsor
collects 433,269 signatures in support of his/her
proposal, it will get a number and will be placed
on the ballot. Initiative becomes law when voters
approve it.

The
Candidates
Eleven
people want to be the next mayor of Oakland; and
some have no background in politics. Without the
name recognition of Jerry
Brown or the exposure of city council
member Ignacio De La Fuente, these candidates
— Edward
Blakely
and Audery
Rice Oliver — will have to build their
own on-ramps into the fast lane of a closely
observed mayoral race. |
