District 5 Supervisor Keith Carson endorses John Bauters to replace him in his long-held seat on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.
Supervisor Keith Carson addresses some of his concerns asking for clarification of Andrew McKnight with the Fortress Investment Group during the Alameda County Board of Supervisors hearing at the Alameda County Administration building in Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2016. Carson was the only no vote to move forward with the new football stadium and mixed-use development plan put forth by the Lott Group and Fortress Investment Group.
“John Bauters’ leadership and unwavering commitment to serving the poor, unhoused, and challenged communities are qualities I’ve deeply admired throughout his career,” Carson wrote in his endorsement. “John’s collaborative spirit and dedication to social justice will serve him well on the Board of Supervisors, and I’m proud to support him.”
“Keith Carson’s leadership in Alameda County has been a beacon of integrity and inclusivity,” Bauters said in a statement. “I am honored to have his support as I seek to build on his work, ensuring that our county remains a place where everyone is valued and every voice is heard.” Bauters has also received backing from local and state politicians such as State Senator Scott Wiener and former mayor of Berkeley Tom Bates. In addition, he has the approval of various housing advocacy organizations like California YIMBY and environmental nonprofits like the Sierra Club. The East Bay Times editorial board, which is independent from the newsroom, has also endorsed Bauters.
