Pechenuk on Charter Reform: "When Faced With Two Bad Choices, Always Take the Third"
Urgent Action to Support “The Third Option” For Charter Support
As Oakland’s 2026 mayoral candidate, I strongly endorse the Third Option for Charter Reform to be placed on the November 2026 ballot.
The Third Option strengthens both the Mayor and the City Council, Oakland needs both decisive executive leadership and effective legislative oversight that works together.
The following Oakland Report Article is excellent to understand The Third Option Click link for the article
The Third Option also establishes an appointed City Attorney and an appointed City Manager who work collaboratively with both the Mayor and City Council to unify city operations.
This model has been successfully implemented in cities such as Riverside, California, and El Paso, Texas. Oakland can do the same.
URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Calls to Oakland City Councilmemebers!
I am asking everyone to email the following city councile members, tell them to vote for The Third Option. We need to get this passed out of committee and put on the full agenda of the Oakland City Council.
1) District 2 Charlene Wang -- district2@oaklandca.gov
2) District 4 Janani Ramachandran -- district4@oaklandca.gov
