One-Time Supporters Say Oakland Mayor Should Step Down
Teola Sanders has supported Mayor Ronald V. Dellums of Oakland for over 40 years.
That includes Mr. Dellums’s 13 victorious Congressional campaigns and the race four years ago, when a coalition of Oakland residents, including Ms. Sanders, a prominent black activist, persuaded him to give up a lucrative Washington lobbying practice to run for mayor.
But Ms. Sanders said her support had run its course.
“He should not ever run again,” she said. “Oakland needs a stronger mayor. He doesn’t do his job.”
