Oakland Mayor Election: Thao Narrowly Wins

Oakland Mayor Election Results: Sheng Thao Declared Winner in Narrow Victory

Oakland, CA – November 15, 2022

After a closely contested race and days of ballot counting, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters has officially declared Sheng Thao the next mayor of Oakland. Thao, a current City Councilmember, narrowly defeated fellow Councilmember Loren Taylor in a ranked-choice voting showdown that highlighted the city’s deep political divisions.

A Tight Race

The final results, certified Tuesday, showed Thao securing 50.3% of the vote after multiple rounds of ranked-choice tabulations, edging out Taylor by just 677 votes. The race remained too close to call for nearly a week as mail-in ballots were processed, with both candidates trading leads in earlier rounds.

Thao, a progressive Democrat backed by labor unions and tenant advocates, campaigned on police reform, affordable housing, and economic equity. Taylor, a moderate with support from business leaders and public safety advocates, emphasized crime reduction and fiscal responsibility.

A Historic Moment

Thao’s victory marks another milestone for Oakland, making her the second consecutive Hmong American mayor after Libby Schaaf’s tenure. In her victory speech, Thao emphasized unity, stating, 'Oakland spoke loud and clear—we want a city that works for everyone. I’m ready to lead with compassion and bold action.'

Taylor conceded gracefully, saying, 'While this isn’t the outcome we hoped for, I respect the voters’ decision and will continue serving Oakland.'

Challenges Ahead

Thao will take office in January 2023, facing urgent issues including rising violent crime, homelessness, and a looming budget deficit. Her ability to bridge Oakland’s political divides will be tested as she works to implement her agenda.

Final Tally (After Ranked-Choice Rounds):

Sheng Thao: 50.3%

Loren Taylor: 49.7%

Voter turnout was approximately 42%, reflecting strong engagement in a race that could shape Oakland’s future for years to come.

Stay tuned for updates on the transition and Thao’s policy priorities.
