A Message to the People of Oakland

From Brenda Grisham, Candidate for Oakland Mayor 2026

To the People of Oakland,

Oakland is more than a city—it is our home. It is where we raise our families, build our businesses, pursue our dreams, and stand together through both challenges and triumphs. I am running for Mayor because I believe in Oakland and the people who make this city strong.

For too long, many residents have felt unheard, overlooked, and frustrated by a lack of accountability from City Hall. Our neighborhoods deserve better. Our families deserve to feel safe. Our businesses deserve the support they need to thrive. And our communities deserve leadership that listens, acts, and delivers results.

My commitment to you is simple: I will put Oakland residents first.

I will work tirelessly to improve public safety, support economic growth, strengthen neighborhood services, and ensure transparency in how your tax dollars are spent. I believe that government works best when it is responsive to the people it serves and accountable for the promises it makes.

This campaign is not about politics as usual. It is about the people, the fight for our neighborhoods, and the future of Oakland. Real change happens when neighbors come together, listen to one another, and work toward common solutions. That is the kind of leadership I will bring to City Hall.

Oakland's greatest strength has always been its people—our resilience, our diversity, our creativity, and our determination to overcome obstacles. Together, we can build a city that is safer, cleaner, more prosperous, and filled with opportunity for every resident.

I ask for your support, your voice, and your vote on November 3, 2026.

Let us move Oakland forward—together.

With gratitude and determination,

Brenda Grisham
Candidate for Oakland Mayor 2026
