An East Bay professor and Oakland resident is the latest candidate in the race for U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee's seat in Congress.
Jennifer Tran is a professor at California State University East Bay in Hayward and is running to support working families and end systemic East Bay problems such as, among others, safety.
Tran is up against BART board member Lateefah Simon and three others, including Alameda Vice Mayor Tony Daysog, Denard Ingram, chair of Oakland's Housing, Residential Rent and Relocation Board, and Tim Sanchez, who has been an entrepreneur, small business owner, active-duty service member and financial services professional.
Simon announced her candidacy in February. Ingram said by email that he will launch his campaign June 1. Somewhat like Simon, Tran said she is someone who has had a career organizing for diverse communities.
