KTVU to host Oakland mayoral debate ahead of special election

OAKLAND, Calif. - KTVU will host a debate Tuesday between former Rep. Barbara Lee and former Oakland city council member Loren Taylor, two candidates who are facing off in a special election for Oakland mayor.

Several city leaders have assumed the role since former mayor Sheng Thao was recalled in November, though Lee and Taylor – the latter of whom Thao just barely beat in the 2022 mayoral election – are the two leading candidates in the race.

The two will debate Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Oakland Museum. KTVU anchor Dave Clark will moderate the event.

The debate will be presented by Black Action Alliance and Empower Oakland.
