“Our community continues to mourn the loss of Supervisor Chan; our hearts are still broken. The impact on our community made by Supervisor Chan will live on forever. Her loss leaves a void in Alameda County,” said District Attorney Nancy O’Malley.
Voters will decide who fills Chan’s seat on the Board of Supervisors in a runoff election between Oakland City Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan and former Alameda City Councilmember Lena Tam on Tuesday, November 8.
