The Alameda County District 5 Supervisor race is separated by just 106 votes following the latest ballot drop Friday evening.
OAKLAND, CA – AUGUST 22: Oakland city District 2 council member Nikki Fortunato Bas speaks during an Anti-Asian Hate rally held at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza in Oakland, Calif., on Monday, Aug. 22, 2022. The rally was in response to the killing of a 60-year-old woman named Lili Xu around 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon in Little Saigon.
The remarkably tight race will be historic regardless of the winner. If victorious, Bauters would become the first gay supervisor in Alameda County history, while Bas would be part of the first female majority on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. “Nothing stops a bullet like a job, and that has always stuck with me,” Bas told the Bay Area News Group leading up to the election. “A lot of my work prior to becoming an elected official has focused on social justice issues and looking at economic opportunity as the foundation of providing a safe and vibrant community.
“Housing security is a huge component of my personal identity, my advocacy and my professional career, and it’s one of the reasons I ran for city council — to bring housing opportunities to people, tenant protections,” Bauters said. “The people who want to be a part of Alameda County should have the ability to be included here, and that means having housing opportunities for everybody.”
