Although not the first Black police chief of the Oakland Police Department, it would be the first time that role is filled by a Black officer at the same time as Oakland mayor and the Alameda County district attorney. Alameda County has never elected a Black district attorney before and is guaranteed to make history this year either way the race goes, with both names on the ballot for Black candidates.
Voters will be choosing between civil rights attorney Pamela Price and Terry Wiley, an attorney in the DA's office to be the next Alameda County D.A.Although 10 people are running for Oakland mayor, Black candidate Loren Taylor is one of two that have received the most prominent endorsements, including that of San Francisco Mayor London Breed and current Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf.
Taylor is a third-generation Oaklander and he was elected to the Oakland City Council as a councilmember in 2018.
