Sure couldn't be worse than recent Oakland mayors.

The current mayor claims everyone else let her down on a grant that she didn't apply in time for.

Seems like maybe she is just **** at deadlines.

She might not be the only problem, but she is definitely not helping.

I think it's interesting that since we have had ranked choice, the mayors have been the most embarrassing people possible.

I love Marshawn, but I'm fairly confident he would be a terrible mayor. Beast mode and blunts dont qualify you to run an administration.

Oakland resident who luvs ya Marshawn (hey, I was at the party on 4th of July and the Charles Porter rec center with you and your bros), but plz don't run for office without gaining any experience at the lower levels of administration first.

Maybe he could get some guidance from Kevin Johnson, who has followed that path.

Is he just the spokesperson for his own massive brand? I thought he was intimately involved in all of that, which would be a massive amount of experience. Maybe not.

I live in Oakland and rarely vote but wouid definitely take a look at him

Mostly what we see from Public Marshawn these days is a guy doing shtick, which is only going to fly to an extent. I'm almost positive, though, that there's a lot more to him, so that is where it would get interesting.
