Kaplan kicks off Alameda County supervisor bid
Oakland City Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan, the body's lone out member, formally kicked off March 3 her campaign for the District 3 seat on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, telling virtual attendees that she will be "a fighter for equity for our county."Kaplan, a lesbian and current vice mayor for the city, has represented the at-large seat on the council since being elected in 2008. After former supervisor Wilma Chan was killed by a motorist while walking her dog in Alameda last November, speculation began as to who would run for the seat in June.
