FORMER CHAIR OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY AND CEO OF THE NONPROFIT OAKLAND & THE WORLD ENTERPRISES ELAINE BROWN*

“West Oakland needs John Bauters!  This predominantly-Black sector of Alameda County has been abandoned and condemned by racist government displacement and gentrification actions for decades now. As a developer of one of the very few deeply affordable housing projects in the Bay Area, which sits on West Oakland's historic Seventh Street, once known as ‘Harlem West,’ where we are building cooperative, community businesses, I know that John will work hard with this community to resurrect the spirit of Harlem West and build more affordable housing and community wealth.  John’s whole life has been dedicated to providing housing and jobs for depressed and Black communities, including his work as a services provider for the homeless, as a defense attorney for residents of Chicago’s infamous Cabrini Green housing projects, and as a leader in generating financing for affordable housing.”

OAKLAND REDISTRICTING COMMISSIONER & FORMER BOARD OF DIRECTOR FOR THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF OAKLAND, EQUAL RIGHTS ADVOCATE, JACK LONDON AQUATIC CENTER, AND OAKLAND ASIAN CULTURAL CENTER SHIRLEY GEE*

“I am enthusiastically endorsing John Bauters for the District 5 Supervisor seat. We need less ‘performative politicians’ and more ‘roll up your sleeves’ public servants to get things done that change people’s lives. As an Asian American activist of long standing, I was looking for “someone” who had a history of integrity and was notably protective of the vulnerable. Moreover, that person had to be fiscally responsible and able to build consensus around difficult issues. The measurement of a good public servant is whether his/her constituents were better off as a result of their involvement. This description is John’s public service story.

I believe we can entrust John to bring that same level of energy, passion and commitment to the County that he had at the city-level. He would assure all citizens get equitable access to resources; especially vulnerable communities like our immigrant families, who have unique challenges as they pursue their American dream."
