Oaklandside: Realtors and landlords have spent over $350,000 against Carroll Fife and Nikki Bas
The real estate industry is spending big money trying to unseat one Oakland councilmember and prevent another from getting elected to the powerful Alameda County Board of Supervisors.
The National Association of Realtors and California Association of Realtors have collectively spent $302,703 on two hotly contested local races: the Oakland City Council District 3 election and the Alameda County Board of Supervisors District 5 race.
In D3, they’ve sent mailers and run ads supporting Warren Logan and opposing Councilmember Carroll Fife’s reelection. In the county’s D5, the groups are supporting Emeryville Councilmember John Bauters and opposing Oakland Councilmember Nikki Fortunato Bas in their faceoff for a supervisor seat.
