Oakland mayoral candidates make final push ahead of special election

In the final days on the campaign trail for Oakland City Mayor, former Congresswoman Barbara Lee and former Oakland City Councilmember Loren Taylor had candid conversations with members of the Interfaith Council of Alameda County.

"Top priorities, of course, public safety, housing affordability, our unsheltered population, good governance, and economic development and jobs," Barbara Lee told CBS News Bay Area.

"Now is our moment to reclaim our city, to respond with the urgency that is needed to turn things around, so we stop losing our residents, our businesses, revenues, and driving our city closer to bankruptcy," Loren Taylor told CBS News Bay Area.

Both candidates shared a common message that work needs to be done in Oakland to tackle issues like public safety and homelessness across the city.
