Oakland's mayor's race has been quiet, but incumbents have still raised big sums, The Oaklandside reported.

Mayor

As of mid-October, Mayor Barbara Lee had raised $367,000 and spent more than $296,000, leaving $168,299, with more than $68,000 in campaign debt, according to The Oaklandside. Open Disclosure Oakland, a city campaign finance site updated Oct. 30, now lists Lee at $400,767 collected.

Her three challengers trail far behind. Open Disclosure lists Mindy Pechenuk at $28,807, Brenda Grisham at $13,431 and Julius Robinson at $10,895. The Oaklandside reported that Robinson's total includes a $6,500 loan from himself.

An independent committee backing Lee, Citizens for a Brighter Oakland, had received $22,000 by mid-October, nearly all from its creator, Scott's Seafood owner Raymond Gallagher.

City Council

  • District 2: Incumbent Charlene Wang had raised $137,721 and had $85,489 in the bank. Challenger Nate Adams had raised $51,125 and had $19,361 left.
  • District 4: Janani Ramachandran, running unopposed, had raised $79,587 and had $114,489 in cash.
  • District 6: Incumbent Jenkins, the City Council president, had raised $84,376. Opponent Nancy Sidebotham had not reported any fundraising.

Ballot measures

No groups have formed to raise money against Measure EE, which would move Oakland toward a "strong mayor" system, or Measure FF, which would apply the city's real estate transfer tax to foreclosures, The Oaklandside reported.
