The Wellstone Club’s endorsements for the Oakland special election (April 15th) are the result of a systematic effort to learn about the candidates and issues at stake in this election.  These endorsements were made by the Club’s entire membership, who voted using a secure web-based voting system.

Wellstone Club members have voted to endorse Barbara Lee for Oakland Mayor and Kara Murray-Badal for Oakland District 2 Councilmember.

There were no second place endorsements.  The Club is also recommending passage of the ballot measure to increase sales tax in Oakland by 0.5%.

This election is coming up very soon, on April 15th.  We encourage you to actively support these candidates. More information is available at the links provided. And please DONATE to support the WDRC-PAC’s text campaign in support of our endorsed candidates!

Congratulations to our endorsed candidates!
