Votes are still being tallied for Oakland's Special Election that will determine who will finish out the term left vacant after former mayor Sheng Thao was recalled last fall. As of Wednesday, former Oakland City Councilmember Loren Taylor held a narrow lead over former U.S. representative Barbara Lee. Taylor campaigned as someone who knows the local issues and politics and can move the city forward. Lee represented Oakland in Congress for nearly 27 years and promised to bring more funding to address the city's pressing needs. Final results could take several weeks using Oakland's ranked-choice voting system. We'll look at the latest results and talk about this unusual race and the future of Oakland.

East Bay voters had their say on whether to recall Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price and Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, and it looks like they chose to send both packing. With all precincts reporting early Wednesday, voters supported both recalls by a clear and nearly identical margin: 65.2% to 34.8% for Thao, and 64.8% to 35.2% for Price. However, Price has not admitted defeat and urged patience while all ballots are counted. “This presidential election, which has been a pivotal moment for our country as well as our state, witnessed significant voter participation, resulting in a large number of ballots in Alameda County. There are still so many more ballots to be counted, and in areas that I know we did well in getting our message out,” said Price in a statement Wednesday. “I am optimistic that when all the votes are counted, we will be able to continue the hard work of transforming our criminal justice system.”

In the first mayoral recall vote in Oakland in more than a century, voters will decide in the November election whether mayor Sheng Thao should be removed from office. After two years as mayor, Thao is contending with a historic budget deficit, widespread public safety concerns, large homeless encampments and the loss of the city's last major professional sports team. All this in the shadow of an FBI raid on her home earlier this year. Mayor Thao joins us to talk about her approach to the city's challenges and why voters should let her finish out her term. Guests: Sheng Thao, mayor of Oakland
