California: Committee for an Independent Voice endorses Ron Dellums in Oakland mayoral race, citing his support for election reform

The Committee for an Independent Voice has endorsed Ron Dellums in the Oakland mayoral race. In an email, CIV says the endorsement is based on Dellums' history and activities in support of political reform:

  • As a Congressman he sponsored ballot access reform legislation to level the playing field for independent candidates.
  • He has fought for the inclusion of all Oakland mayoral candidates in the debates.
  • He publicly refuses to engage in negative campaigning.
  • He rejects partisanship, and reaches out to Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike.

Independent voters are expected to determine the outcome of the June 6th election. This is an important opportunity for independents to leverage our growing numbers and elect a candidate who is committed to an open, inclusive, non-partisan political process. If we are successful, it will send a message to other politicians that if they want our votes, they will have to support these issues.

We urge you to vote for Ron Dellums on June 6.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Forward this email to everyone you know who is concerned about ending partisanship and political corruption;
Speak to friends, co-workers, family, neighbors and others who live in Oakland and share this information.
