Did you know that for every job at the port, there are 3 additional jobs created in the region? That’s the multiplier effect of a thriving port. The port generates $174 billion in economic impact and sustains 98,000 jobs. I’ll keep fighting for its expansion to secure a thriving, sustainable Oakland

When my father died, Oakland didn’t have the resources to investigate… That’s why I’m running for City Council. #Oakland

I never wanted to get into politics—because politics destroyed my family. But when my father died and the city lacked the resources to investigate, I realized Oakland was abandoning all of us. Ballots drop March 17. Help us build an #Oakland that works for everyone! KanithaForOakland.com/donate

Had an incredible bowl of menudo at Mia Comida Casera in Jack London Square today! Oakland’s small businesses are the heart of our community, and we need leadership that truly supports them. I’m running in the April 15 special election to revitalize local business! #SupportLocal #Oakland

Oakland can’t thrive without public safety. On today’s neighborhood tour with the San Antonio Neighborhood Coalition, I heard from residents and small business owners about the real impact of crime, trafficking, and unsafe streets. It’s time for new leadership and real solutions. #Oakland

Oakland needs real solutions to balance our budget—not raising the sales tax on residents and small businesses. We should be incentivizing people to shop local, not making it harder. Grateful for the chance to speak at the Cleveland Heights Neighborhood Council! #Oakland #ShopLocal

At yesterday’s forum, I spoke on why we must vote NO on Measure A in Oakland’s April 15th special election. Raising the sales tax to 10.75% will hurt working families the most—we need real fiscal responsibility, not more burdens on those struggling.

Oakland can’t afford more broken promises/failed leadership. Last election, 50,000 of you voted for change—but the fight isn’t over. With Nikki Bas resigning, we have another chance to elect leadership that puts public safety, local business, and our community first. Let’s finish what we started.
