June 3, 2026 Update
Dear Oakland Community: Thank you for voting in this year’s Primary Election! In dynamic and challenging times like these, it is critical that all our voices are represented at the ballot box. As thousands of votes remain to be counted, we are all awaiting the final results of Measure E. We couldn’t be prouder of the 30,000 Oaklanders who qualified this measure for the ballot and our broad coalition of residents, faith leaders, labor, and business partners who put our vision for stability and services before voters. No matter what, we will continue the fight to ensure that every Oaklander receives the core services they expect and deserve.

Save Our Essential Services
Vote YES on E to Save Our Essential Services
and Lower Taxes for a Majority of Homeowners
We see an Oakland with challenges, but also incredible potential. That’s why nearly 30,000 Oaklanders joined Firefighters, teachers, and nurses to place Measure E – the Oakland Public Safety, Cleanliness, and Accountability Act of 2026 – on the ballot through a citizen’s initiative.
Oakland Firefighters and safety advocates support YES on E because it’s a fiscally responsible plan designed to keep fire stations open, maintain fire protection services and emergency response times, address gun violence, homeless encampments, illegal dumping/trash, and violent crime.
Your YES on E vote will:
Prevent 911 medical, fire, and police emergency response times from increasing
Keep fire stations open
Maintain violent crime investigation
Address homelessness, illegal dumping, litter, and trash on streets and parks
Strong Accountability Protections
Measure E protects taxpayer dollars with strong accountability requirements:
- Public disclosure of all spending
- Independent audits and citizen oversight
- Low-income exemptions, including for seniors
- All Measure E funds must be spent on specified purposes and cannot be taken by the State
Vote YES on E on or before June 2, 2026
