Sheng Thao extends lead in Oakland mayor's race over Loren Taylor

(KRON) -- Progressive Sheng Thao is still holding on to a lead in the race to be Oakland's next mayor, according to numbers released Monday by Alameda County. Thao, the President Pro Tem of the Oakland City Council, is leading in the ranked choice race with 50.30% of the vote, clinging to a narrow lead over moderate Loren Taylor at 49.70%.

The percentages for the two frontrunning candidates remain unchanged from last week, although more votes have been tallied and each candidate has picked up several hundred new votes in the count.

Tuesday will mark two full weeks since the 2022 midterm election with the Oakland mayoral race remaining one of the last major outstanding undecided races in the Bay Area. Earlier on Monday, Pamela Price declared victory in the Alameda County District Attorney's race with the latest count seeing her holding a strong lead at 53.14% of the vote to Terry Wiley's 46.86%.
