City Government
Kaplan Urges Yes Vote on Measure R & Measure C
Please Vote for Measure R. The City of Oakland, like many local governments, has public notices that are required to be published in a newspaper, to provide important information to the community.
Unfortunately, for many years, full community access in Oakland has suffered, due to an out-of-date law still on the books that designated Oakland’s official “newspaper of record” to be required to have daily circulation of over 25,000, and is supposed to be locally published.
Over the years, with changes in the media landscape and corporate mergers, we no longer have a local newspaper that meets the requirements of the old law. As a result, notices are being posted in non-local media, owned by out-of-state corporations, and failing to meet the full diversity and access for our community.
Also, please join me to vote for Measure C to support high-quality child care and health care for Alameda County children.
Measure C will:
• Expand access to high quality child care for all Alameda County families.
• Attract and retain excellent early educators to provide better care for our kids.
• Help to create access to early pediatric health care for all Alameda County kids.
• Support the Pediatric Trauma Center In Oakland to stay open and be staffed.

IN MEMORIAM: Nate Holden, State Senator and Longtime Los Angeles Councilmember, Dies at 95
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn described Holden as “a lion” in the State Senate and a force to be reckoned with on the Los Angeles City Council.” Hahn added that she learned a lot working with Holden when she was a new councilmember.
By Bo Tefu, California Black Media
Former Los Angeles City Councilmember Nathaniel “Nate” Holden, a prominent figure in the city’s politics, passed away at the age of 95, his family confirmed on May 7.
Holden, who represented South Los Angeles for 16 years on the City Council and served one term in the California State Senate, was widely regarded as a forceful advocate for his community.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn described Holden as “a lion” in the State Senate and a force to be reckoned with on the Los Angeles City Council.”
Hahn added that she learned a lot working with Holden when she was a new councilmember.
Holden’s journey to political prominence began in the segregated South, where he was born in Macon, Georgia, in 1929. He often recalled the childhood moment when he first heard the governor of Georgia vowing to continue suppressing Black people.
“Doing the best you can for the people. Law and order. Make sure that people’s communities are safe. I did it all,” said Holden, reflecting on his legacy.
Holden is survived by his sons, including former California Assemblymember Chris Holden, who represented a district in Southern California that includes Pasadena and Altadena in Los Angeles County and cities in San Bernardino County.
