Former Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong kicked off his campaign for city council at McClymonds High School on Saturday, campaigning on a message of hope.
Supporters of the effort to recall Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao said they have collected more than 30,000 signatures on their way to getting the question placed on the November ballot.
During a rally on Saturday afternoon in the California city calling for Thao to stand down, retired Superior Court Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte slammed the mayor.
