Mindy's Statements

"Fife Gimmick is a Democratic Party Dirty Trick"

September 21, 2026- The push by Oakland Councilmember Carroll Fife for an urgent 45-day moratorium on data center approvals is a transparent political gimmick designed to slow or stop AI-related development in our city.

With A Vision-Oakland Has A Great Future!

April 15, 2026 - As Oakland’s 2026 mayoral candidate, I strongly endorse the Third Option for Charter Reform to be placed on the November 2026 ballot.

Benefits of coal terminal far outweigh drawbacks

July 17, 2026- East Bay Times. Letter to the editor by Hunter Cobb


 It’s time to step back. Oakland used to be an industrial city with safe, vibrant, working-class neighborhoods. Irrational hatred of machinery, smokestacks and sweat, plus a perverted banking system that shunned long-term investment, sent us spiraling into hell. Finally, this is turning around nationally. Factories are being built, and trade schools are filling up. Why not here?
