MAYOR Ronald V. Dellums
Thirty-three years after Black Panther Party Co-Founder Bobby Seale ran for Mayor of Oakland, it's now official. Ronald V. Dellums -- the tall, dignified, articulate, and passionate crusader for justice and peace who came of political age in Oakland during the time of the Black Panthers -- will be the next Mayor of Oakland. Dellums has pledged to work to make Oakland a model city. In 1973, the Panthers sought political office to harness the power of government and put it in service to the people. People have marched, struggled, sacrificed, and died for the ideal of giving "All Power to the People." Now Ron Dellums is mayor, and we have a historic opportunity to use that power to improve the lives of the people of Oakland and provide a shining example to the country of what is possible in terms of enlightened municipal governance. Let's get to work.
